He made his point, he is not adding anything new to his arguements, and the rest of us get frustrated.

You get frustrated?

At least I am making a point for discussion. You don't even have to read it - why should you be frustrated?

Do we get one? We then we get a post just accusing me of being rude. Providing no evidence for this and totally ignoring all of the offensive personal judgements and name-calling that I am subjected to and not protected from as if it was of no consequence. It would be had I indulged in anything like this.

Perhaps I am due some little credit for not responding in kind?

For one of the main culprits then justifies all this and describes the posters and 'moderators' responsible for setting this example of posting behaviour as gentle, good natured, intelligent and decent posters!

If you are frustrated or bored - then leave the subject to some newer posters who may be prepared to discuss the issue - rather than be obsessed with simply judging personalities.
