Try to be less rude, Potter. Some people speak with their shotguns.
Sam makes a good point when he points out
that rude people frequently turn to threats and violence
when their rudeness is challenged.
Hopefully Sam will post his views on how
rational, intelligent, civilized, moral folks
should deal with the rude people in the newsgroups,
who attack messengers with words,
and personal attack web pages and awards,
rather than address messages.
Sam, how would you deal with rude people like
Moortel, Erich Max Francis, Puddleduck, T Wake, The_Man,
Art Deco, etc.?
Would you shoot them?
I just saw a segment on CNN today
about people standing by as helpless folks
were being beaten, raped, and murdered.
Should rudesness and violence be exposed and challenged,
or should folks ignore rudeness, threats and violence?
What you think should be done, is de-facto, of no importance.
Folks will always ignore rudeness, threats and violence when
it is directed at inferior life forms. No one cares, you see.
Being an inferior life form yourself, you obviously have a problem with that. But who cares?
