To hear some folks tell it, the Mudcat has been a centre of calm and brother/sisterly love since its inception, and the troubles only started in the last year or so.

I may disagree with what you say-

So does this entitle me to post only call you vulgar and offensive names, question your sanity and motives, to hold public conversations about you, mock your spelling and grammar and to generally gang-up with others to bully you in the hope that another member will get upset with all this personal judgement and leave?

Now that (most of) the usual suspect have had their usual fun - perhaps they will finally accept that any personal judgements made publicly in any form about any other poster on our forum is a totally pointless exercise when the site's owner is making few if any value judgements about what is posted or who may be posting it?

Is anyone here really interested in reading posts containing only one poster's personal judgement of another?

If anyone is really interested in this - can they please join a site that is set up for such things rather than insist on inflicting such things upon every other poster on our forum?

Or asking for our public forum to be turned into a private members club where their freedom to do and say what they wish without censure - which they take for granted and abuse - would be denied to others?

But would you think that I or any other poster would be interested in your judgement of another poster?

Shambles, my 8 year old neighbor can use Google and come up with quotes that prove about any point and its antithesis in about 1 1/2 minutes. Surely this does nothing to enhance your reputation.

As to the poster who thinks I came on in an arrogant way, you haven't been putting up with this since 1998 or so. This man sets himself up to get shot down, then attacks for shooting him down.

I can't hold out any longer.....

You will be taken from this court to the prison whence you came, and thence to a lawful place of execution, where you will be hanged by the neck until you are dead; and may the Lord have mercy upon your soul!

(is that a complete sentence?)"


I have given this matter considerable thought, and have reached the conclusion that the sentence, complete or not, is a capital sentence.

I hope that this conclusion will not be considered too judgemental, but I do have an unfortunate tendency to become mental when I judge.

Choice of attention - to pay attention to this and ignore that - is to the inner life what choice of action is to the outer. In both cases, a man is responsible for his choice and must accept the consequences, whatever they may be.

When a person's spelling and or grammar are so bad that the reader has no clue what they are trying to say, I think of the statement , "Language was created so we can converse, and understand each other." Now, if you tend to talk backwards, (Throw Mamma from the train a kiss..." or you leave out connecting words, you should expect some heat from those who are capable of clear thinking. Don't blame them for your own shortcomings. Try to rise to their level of education, instead of expecting them to sink to yours.
