all these posters.. everyone so attuned to the rules. so many affronted, on both sides.. so , so many able to parse each and every rule...skirt the rules, twist the rules..dance the line...

So many admit they can take a bit here....take a jab there..

yet, nary a few willing to tone it down just enough to work within the rules..


I think it's damn shame.


you?
 
me? i think thats hilarious comin from someone who was supposed to be a SOLUTION to that problem
 
Work within the letter of the rules or the spirit of the rules?

Can you suggest what the spirit of the rules are?

(I am assuming that you are posting this as a poster rather than a moderator.)

Phil, you do realize that you sound a bit like Rodney King.

Really do not care except for when it come to a Mod...
 
poster. spirit? i guess.... dont insult. don't deliberately seek confrontation.. what else? you tell me.....


Rodney?
 
The Mods should set a better example than what some do... Does that help ya Phil, or should I try not to explain more because I know you know what I mean even if you deny it!!!
 
if you mean me...show me where i chace or insult folk as a matter of routine...?

otherwise..perhaps those some should.. you ought take it up with Dave..
 
feel free to show us where HE said you insult folk as a matter of routine? and then go back to what he was decrying
 
Rodney King after the LA riots of twenty years ago erupted: "Can't we just get along?"

I am cool with no insults - at the personal or group level - and not deliberately seeking confrontation (including no trolling). That is the spirit that I think that you use and I am glad to reciprocate. I would also add to avoid posting "lies" (i.e. purported facts that are poorly grounded in evidence) because this can lead to confrontation. I think that that is where the rubber meets the road for lots of folks.

Rodney King..i got it...

I think that posts grounded in lies can be exposed yet the individual not degraded to the point of insult. that's the bigger issue.. not the exposure of the lies..or omission.. etc... that's the crux of the interaction. or at least it should be.... (to a point...grant you.. has to be some ...i think...

Posting "lies" in the first place puts any interaction on a bad footing. The natural reaction to lies - particularly on a topic that is important to someone - is to call the liar a liar. The lie itself degrades the person who has to put up with the lie.

To me, it would help if some of the "liars" would apologize for misspeaking or offending others. But perhaps that is too polically correct for some folks. Ya think?
