Well, it's one thing if you make that decision about people
who are in contact with you personally. It's a bit different
if you are unilaterally deciding to make that decision as a
member of a collective forum of people, because in that case
it's a bit of an imposition on the rest of us.
and if i'm not reacting, it's painting *me* wrong.
i.e. just because _you've_ decided that he's a timewaster,
doesn't make it OK for you to try and make him feel unwelcome
in a forum that belongs to a wider community.
if he is intelligent enough, he will understand that nobody can
talk
for the whole community, so in the worst case he will ignore
myself
personally. if he is not intelligent enough... oh, well, as
nobody else
wants to be a judge, i will be one. i don't feel wrong calling
someone
"timewaster" if he *is* one. and i can smell 'em from a
distance.
It's not about intelligence, and I'm surprised that an
intelligent man like you would think otherwise.
It's not reasonable to generalize community based upon only one
member of said community, but it still happens. Everywhere, to
everyone, because humans are like that. Instead of admitting of
being unwelcoming, you swing the other way and accuse people of
being not intelligent enough. That's absolutely ridiculous
behavior that should not be acceptable in any friendly community.
