[AT] OT, But Something to be Aware of

Sat Dec 22 17:59:41 PST 2007

Cecil,

I was answering his questions.

I don't want a pi**ing contest.  But, I am tired of his nasty comments.
They get old.  Yes, I do have a delete button.  But, that isn't foolproof.
Sometimes his comments come through in other peoples posts.  His comment to
Irma was completely uncalled for.

I really haven't seen him contribute much other than his nasty comments and
arguments. If a bully isn't stood up to, they keep on bullying.  I am not
going to put up with this type of crap.

Do you want to know why people don't post here very much anymore.  It is
because of people like him, Walt, "John Kennedy", Ray Crispen, Don Acton.
These people will put you down when you post something, they are critical
about everything.  Who wants to post if these type of people are going to
come in and be nasty with their replies.  There is a proper way to disagree,
and the way these guys do is not the proper way.  I have no problem if
someone disagrees.  However, I have a problem with these type of people
making nasty personal comments, that are uncalled for.

We have lost some real good members because of people like those mentioned
above.  The lost members might still be lurking, but they are not posting.

Spencer, if you are reading, will you please post your rule of etiquette for
this site.  I think they are needed again.

I don't want to start a fight.  Come on guys, if you have to be nasty about
your replies, then don't send them.  I think Spencer will back me up on
that.

Lou
