I notice that you suggested to bns that he either put you both on ignore or simply not reads posts of that nature. I think that is somewhat of an unfair proposition. Firstly, if he were to ignore you it could deprive him of any future valid or helpful posts that you make. Secondly, a person can't simply 'un-read' an unhelpful comment, so not reading posts of an inflammatory nature is an implausible prospect.
I see that it is also unfair to ask you and Rasczak to ignore each other for the same reasons. Of all of the unfair resolutions that are possible, that is the least so, because you two can be fairly certain that you have nothing pleasant to say to each other and have the most reason to not want to read the others comments.
Meh, I'll continue to read all the comments in a thread and enjoy the good ones while cringing at the inappropriate ones.  |
Your a smart person TruthFatal. You make a lot of sense.
I try pretty hard to stay away from erics posts unles they are insulting towards other members or people in general. Referring to members of this forum as 'bed-wetters', 'teeny-boppers' and the like is not acceptable to me. The people he refers to may not have the education he does but that does not give him or anyone the right to be insulting towards them. What really irks me is the fact that many of those he so easily dismiss' with his flippant additude is that many of those and their other family members have paid for his education and his government job with their tax dollars, and this is how he thanks them.
I've run into people like him before and the worse thing a group of people can do is ignore them and permit them to run others off because they do not fit his idea of what a member should be like.
We all make errors here and there, but eric is an 'in your face' person who trys to be a single authority. He's good at it too. however, for as long as I choose to be a member of this forum, I will be reminding him that he should think before he ridicules others.
