A step back = needed

C'mon Ladies and Gentlemen lets relax a minute.. as far a flames and
trolls are concerned this group doesn't even make it into the minor
leagues. (Take it from someone who has received actual abusive - Phone
calls - after a Usenet post.)

This Usenet is a weird place, it is a different type of communication
media than any other, it is completely lacking in outside referents.
There is no tone of voice, there is no shared history or background
nothing but a shared interest in a hobby. Misunderstandings are bound
to occur in a forum like this, not everyone looks at issues the same
way not everyone shares the same sense of humor.

Not every disagreement is a challenge ...
If someone thinks you're wrong it does not mean they think you're
stupid...
Just because it always works for you does not mean it ever worked for
me...
Never ascribe to malice what can also be ascribed to ignorance/accident
....

As a bit of a "for example"
Not to long ago I was "kill filed" ( and told off) by a couple of
regulars because they took my skepticism of a "magic pond additive"
that they happen to use as a personal attack... I'm not ****ed at them,
just disappointed because they will miss the (admittedly rare) valuable
contribution I might make.

Anyway all this is just to say ... relax a bit, this is just the usenet
not the real world..

If I remember correctly that was the Tetra Pixie Dust right?

Exactly!
( a bit of a flash-back eh?)

A Pixie infestation is a sign of a much larger problem, treat the
problem not the symptom...

alt.politics or alt.flame = no gloves, no punches pulled and
"interesting" perceptions of reality.

ps: might somebody point me to the "Tetra Pixie Dust" thread? Google
didn't pull it up.

2nd try... the new google is broken again...

Jan, I don't know about the therapy bill... for me that would be the
next pond addition. But if you're ever in the neighborhood I'll buy you
a beer.

Lilly... at this point I don't even remember which of the various
products I don't trust that the origional thread was discussing ..

I don't drink pee... ah beer. ;o) But I appreciate the offer. Now if you
offered me ice wine, nectar of the pond goddesses, I'd get to your
neighborhood, somehow. ;o) ~ jan

Shhhhhh, we don't discuss this in polite company..... it can start
things... nasty things..

"Wait! Wait!" demands the Porg Queen.

oh no, mr. bill, we've waken her!

"Nedra is the Pond Goddess of the Middle West, or the Middle or... where
the L is she again? Oh, these ponding ledgers and my maps, My Maps!!! she
exclaims. "The dang pond fairies have been chasing each other thru my
papers once again." Swatting at them, "Off with you, off I
say!"..............

What do they call your region? Hurry before the Porg Queen comes back, she
has such a nasty temper, being winter and all.

Looks like your temp is currently like ours and snow too. Sneaking under
desk before the Queen sees me tapping away here. ~ jan

Wow, a Pond Goddess who drinks beer. I'm sold.

I'm in the Frozen North (Toronto), which at the moment deserves its
reputation.
