I bet it cannot compare to the nastiness of the the old USENET fights on the alt. forums I used to frequent. Sometimes I became a target for reasons I couldn''t begin to fathom...possibly because someone was up late at night posting drunk. With no moderation and no rules, it was a free for all. Some of the posters were smart as all get out and very well-armed verbally, however! I would never have the strength to go back to the days of those fights, though!

You haven''t seen an internet argument until you see a 270 vs 30-06 argument or a 9mm vs 45acp argument.

nope.
i''m not interested in arguing with people. i''m not trying to convert anyone to anything, nor am i looking to vent anger. so if i see things getting ugly anywhere, i just leave. i''m not afraid of a ''knock down drag out'' scenario - i just am supremely disinterested in it.
i only fight about the things i specifically care about. REALLY care about. none of those things refer to topics covered in public online forums. when i see people getting snarky or nasty on online forums i think to myself ''dont you have anything better to do with your time?? how old are you - 6??'' i cant imagine having SO MUCH emotional energy that you have it to burn with complete strangers. or being so angry that you wanted to get upset about someone''s political, sexual or religious persuasion.
sometimes it''s time to put your hands on the desk and step away from the computer.
i told a koi farmer that he was breeding low quality mutt koi,that he had an ego problem,too proud of his fish. he was asking $1500 for a fish on his website that most wouldn''t pay a $150. he then called me an A-hole.Date: 4/30/2009 6:53:56 AM

Yes. A huge one (lawyers were involved...not on my part though but for others involved) That''s when my online forum posting stopped and I didn''t start up again for a few years![]()

They are. Now a DIAMOND (singular) is usually for traditional engagement ring and does not mean a woman is spoiled. But diamondS (Pl.) are definitely for spoiled women because who needs that many diamonds? I wanna be spoiled!!!Date: 4/30/2009 3:36:27 PM
