Forum Courtesy

[Mace Canute]

I got so fed up with anonymous posters flinging their insults which they would never dare do to someone's face....that I unsubscribed to supposed Friendly Politics...I look at that forum as a place where little guys can pretend to be big guys and say things to folks they would never dare do in person...I have better things to do with my time then try and debate some punk....No point in reporting them...better if they were not hiding behind a stupid avatar and fake name...that to me is a coward when he uses that fake name to post things he otherwise would not dare say...:2cents:

It's been some time now but you might remember when someone accused me of hiding behind my computer screen and spewing hateful things from the anonymity of the Internet. It apparently didn't occur to the person to look a couple of inches to the left where my full name and city & province of residence are listed...

Taken in the abstract, that might just be a good illustration of how anyone could let their own preconceived ideas and assumptions prevent actual observations ...

I don't have any photos of myself so I had to do the next best thing and find a pic of someone on the net who came the closest to resembling the handsome dude that i am.

Speaking of nasty turns:

If it helps you to navigate and avoid running off the road on the way to enlightenment, the earliest post in this thread that got deleted was toppop's ...

Here's all my previous posts in this thread. Perhaps you can explain what exactly you find to be "nasty" in each and every one of them.

Why should rswyan not question certain assertions made about forum courtesies in a thread labeled " Forum Courtesy"?

Ahhh, I see. The first poster gets a pass while anyone responding to it is automatically at fault cause that's "confrontational". Got it.

I can't argue with that.

While you are at it, and since you've included jerrybob with rswyan and I, explain what you find to be "nasty" about his singular post in this thread.

Complaining about courtesy is good for you as long as you're not complaining to the people you're complaining about.:thumbsup:

Mace, I can see that you expect comments to flow from related facts and reality. Nope, I don't think that is the way it works for some people. Nor can they see or admit that their personal invective is unwarranted or unsupported.

I can tell you that when I saw your name listed among others my reaction was...huh? That doesn't ring true.

Thank you for the kind words.
