OT / Can't we all try to get along?

From: Denny Strauser on 3 Jul 2008 23:39 Geesh, I've been visiting this NG for close to 10 years. I've taken days, months, and for a time, a couple years off from AAPLS, for various reasons. There has always been some flaming. But, since I've come back as a regular this year, I've noticed that the flaming has been extreme. Most regulars here have much to share, but sometimes it's difficult to ascertain that fact. Is all the name calling & insults necessary? I can't see how. Graham has made fun of me at times; but I could tell that it was in good humor, and had a good laugh at myself - and his dry sense of humor. On the other hand, some posts on this NG have no purpose but to insult. And the flaming is contagious; I've found myself making less than positive posts at times. I'd like to suggest that we all refrain from responding to the flaming posts. It only encourages the flamers to continue. I vow to try to keep myself in check. I think I've done a fairly decent job, for the most part. When I've replied to the flaming, I've only tried to bring it to the attention of others that there is no need for insults. And I tried to do it without insulting others, unless stating the facts insults others. If I'm wrong, I apologize. Can't we all try to get along; and share our intelligence rather than our ignorance? Then we might have NG that encourages dialog that actually discusses Live-Sound, rather than gratuitous insults. Many of the old regulars no longer post here, because of the flaming. Can't we all try to get along? -Denny

Egos, grudges and insecurity seem to be the drivers for most of the posts here. Barely a thread goes by without it being dragged into a slagging match or a bout of one-up-man-ship. I doubt very much whether the people responsible will find sufficient meaningful discourse elsewhere that they stop grandstanding here. But you get nothing if you don't ask so I'll second your motion. Cheers, Steve W

I'm pleased you see the funny side. There's only a couple on here who are IMHO a shame to the group and even one of them still gives at least half decent advice. I suspect you already know who I think they are. The superfluous insults are largely inexcusable but Australians have a habit that way. Graham

YOU are a disgrace, a monstrous charlatan and fake, an insufferable egomaniac and pox on the face of the planet. You spread your PIG IGNORANCE about with every post impeding the flow of real information. Get off usenet and stay off. ...... Phil
