Knickers = Twisted ... Umbrage = Taken
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.. |

alt.politics or alt.flame = no gloves, no punches pulled and
"interesting" perceptions of reality. Lilly ps: might somebody point me to the "Tetra Pixie Dust" thread? Google didn't pull it up. |
