Not strange at all because there's little evidence that 'so many are'.
I'm perplexed that you should think so.

I thought my post might show you the error of
Weatherlawyer's ways,

Please don't patronize me.

but it seems you wish to defend him by the proxy
of not being offended yourself.

It would be presumptuous of me to attempt to defend others who are
perfectly capable of defending themselves. Your assumption is wrong.

I really hope you stay being not
offended!

Thank you.

This is a very civilised newsgroup in which we all manage to jog along
without too much excitement and because of that it's a very enjoyable
environment.

Your 'ad holmium attempt to belittle another subscriber by posting in
his style I found offensive. I also found offensive your attempt to
present your views as representing those of the rest of this group. I
saw this in another newsgroup some years ago and such an attack quickly
developed into a very unpleasant vendetta which split the group apart in
a way which was very destructive with long lasting effects. Fortunately,
that's unlikely to happen here because of the natural ambience of the
group and because you appear to be the only person with such a deep
antipathy to the posts of 'Weathercaster. Your solution to your
antipathy is to kill file him, not to try to wage a war.

This is my last word on this as to take it any further would not, I
think, be helpful.
