re: tonight's behaviour - mopom
Grant, everthing you say is absolutely correct, but I'm afraid you won't change anyone's behaviour. Look at the amout of time that most of the virulent posters are logged on, maybe 12-14 hours a day. Doesn't this tell you that they don't have much of a life and few friends? There were even people logged on on New Years Eve - sad! These people only really have a existence in cyber space and there they can be who they want to be, outspoken, intellectual (Not), right wing, left wing, but they never have to follow though with their discussions. When in a position of losing an argument they usually revert to foul language or jibes about someone's sexuality - usually the latter, should tell you something! I find a visit to the General forum an interesting view of my fellow humans as I don't meet many people who behave like this in my daily life. Would take a share recommendation from any of these people? I don't think so.
