![]() go on make it 2000+ bile filled posts a month on usenet, go on make it a world record On 04/12/2011 6:42 PM, Dawlish wrote: I think your point is well made. Being taken to account isn't necessarily a bad think however it seems to be incessant of late. We're all entitled to our opinions, views or musings and there'll be differences of opinion naturally enough. Paul has very strong views on forecasting - that's obvious - and strong opinions on those media-headline grabbing enthusiasts out there. So do I come to think of it! That's all well and good...however it must be realised that we should all be responsible and mature enough to make our own judgements on what we want to read or not read and who we might agree with or disagree with. Paul makes has made his points on more than one occasion. I don't see the merit anymore of Paul constantly interjecting into threads like this one you started when both you, Paul himself and the vast majority of other newsgroup readers know is only going to be a repeat of the criticisms previously posted week after week. It won't change anything and instead ruins a thread with the pro or con follow-ups from those that might take sides and we have to wade through the posts to find genuine follow up to the subject matter itself! It's becoming tiresome. It's at the point where I'd nearly suggested a thread title be prefixed with [Will] or [Paul], for example, so the rest of us can choose to read or not read without any of the cynicism or snide comments that arise!!!!!!! Yes, that's more a flippant suggestion than anything else! Kill-filing is a solution but I've applied that rarely and only to a poster who's contribution is meaningless........constantly! Can't we all just get along and leave people to their own opinions and if there's a need to comment then make it more constructive and civil!? Happy holidays! ;-) Joe Dublin 28m AMSL Hmmmmm. "I don't see the merit anymore of Paul constantly interjecting into threads like this one you started": oddly; I do. And that right will continue to be exercised when I see blatent exaggeration of whatever cold situation happens to arise. It irritates some people and others enjoy seeing people taken to task for doing the exaggeration for effect. I would never kill-file anyone; I like to be able to reply if someone posts something foul about me, or others. I'll ignore the worst, but I'll always reply if I wish to. That's what usenet is about. My replies are never foul-mouthed, but I do ask awkward questions. Kill- filing is as much of a right, however, as the right of reply and however silly I think it may be (the three monkeys come to mind) people have every right to do it. To say that one kill-files "to avoid never ending discussions" is frankly ridiculous to me. Never-ending discussions are again what usenet is about - see the one that Will started himself on his picket line duty and then returned to many times. Will actually kill files to try to avoid criticism of his weak long-range record (it is - that's a fact and it's no different to anyone else's, but it is no better than "weak") and the embarrassment at being found wanting, on occasions, by a mere enthusiast. I'm no respecter of "reputations"; a reoutation is not what makes a person, for me, though I'm happy for others to feel whichever way they wish about people's abilities in whatever sphere. Enjoy Will's posts, but if they are, as I've said, blatant exaggerratons to hope for cold, I'm likely to say something; fair enough? Time for me to move on to the 18z........... |
