I want to be just one more voice to agree with SRS about certain folks attitudes when confronting posts they really disagree with.
(Yes, I have made this point before, and No, I don't need to name names..)

You win NO extra points by calling someone gross and/or hateful names. You certainly don't change their minds, and I can't see what satisfaction it gives you to wallow in the gutter with them. I don't really think it IS 'satisfaction', but merely some basic desire to confront....

(no, I'm not a psychologist, but this thread is about facts, and it is not too hard to document dozens to hundreds of posts that read as though name-calling and labeling is some form of 'special calling'.)

*I* have some strong opinions, and so do many others... but it is also easy to document how many people have stated clearly that they have left Mudcat or reduced their posting because of nasty bickering.

Now.. I'll hit enter and wait for the sarcastic and righteous dismissal of MY weak and useless style...


Oh,,, and a very Happy Holiday season to all
