I would like to repeat myself, this time for the benefit of all the ppl in
the AW newgroups that i enjoy interacting with :o)) Of the ppl that have been evicted from this newsgroup, one thread is common. They didn't express their opinion without making it a personal attack. No one minds an opinion, preferably both sides of the coin or even a healthy debate on an issue. It performs a function. It gets us all to see every side of a matter from all angles and from there we make up our minds. Ppl start a thread because they feel strongly enough about something and by doing so they invite debate from opposing opinions. That is GOOD. What is not good is looking for a chance to pull some one down for having that opinion, dispute their right to hold said opinion, cast dispersions on their integrity, ancestry or for making a typo, or for doing something trivial such as double posting. So, As I feel that I am neither blind, ignorant or illiterate (as someone has suggested) to hold the above opinion, and as I believe very few will dispute the above facts, then we can get on with the community topics. Only the ppl that are LOOKING for an argument will continue to post negatively about the PERSON instead of sharing an opinion, that may or may not differ from another's. I guess what I am saying is: who is right, wrong, maligned or popular is a matter for the individual to judge. Only the ones that carry this stupidity past the point where it has become pathetic will continue and will alter their readers opinion's accordingly. Readers that include those who moderate these newsgroups. [View Quote] Sirhc WS [View Quote] sunofsolarisMar 5, 2002, 7:27am
"... cast dispersions on their integrity ...." - would that mean like some
body coming in a newsgroup and starting a thread claiming that another is a hacker ? Read BinaryBud's very first post that sparked this whole issue please kellee(btw i still love that name) "... or for making a typo ..." - like a number of people making sarcasms at my grammar and my spelling of "clique" ? cheers Sun [View Quote] kelleeMar 6, 2002, 9:13pm
ahhh well you may disagree and that is your right , but .... I was right (
see Flaggs post ) I was talking to EVERYONE in my post and calling for sensible behaviour from all concerned so that intervention was not warranted , but it seems that the issue has been solved ( again, thank you Flagg ) It really dosent pay to have a thin skin in these newsgroups does it ppl? binarybudMar 6, 2002, 9:40pm

Starting it all off. :( [View Quote] |
