Would that I could have such power and influence over anyone. :-) If I did have such influence and power, my comments would stop or even discourage you from name calling; but as expemplified by the last sentance in your reply, it eveidently did not. :-) I am sure that we all (including you and me) have done exactly what you accuse him of on a number of occassions in our list participation. I am afraid that this is a consitutive characteristic of online list interactions as we know it and despite all kinds of attempts has proven to be unremediable; you just have to grin ands bear those prolonged threads that bore you and fill you mailbox or stop participating in list interactions. It would seem to me that there is a less antagonistic and more civil way of telling someone that they are being overbearing, boring, or selfrighteous without resorting to name calling. Your expressed "I don't care" attitude is an exact mirror image of the attitude that you accuse Austin of having and object to so much. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Frank Paris Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2003 12:10 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [filmscanners] RE: 8 bit versus 16 > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of LAURIE SOLOMON > Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2003 9:27 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [filmscanners] RE: 8 bit versus 16 > > > Frank, > Comments like that are really uncalled for and should be kept > to yourself. They add nothing but fuel to the fire. I was honestly trying to put a stop to it, or at least slow him down. Comments like yours are what are going to add fuel to the fire. It's just going to encourage him. "Oh, Laurie supports me! I can just keep it up!" Don't you see what he does? He has set himself up as some sort of list cop. Nobody can say the slightest thing without his treating it like a federal case, asking for proof over the most casual statements. It drives me nuts! It makes this an extremely unpleasant place to be, because he trolls out excruciatingly long and boring threads that go nowhere, flooding my mailbox with the same old same old for days on end, and I notice that I'm not the only one who objects to his overbearing pettiness. He's a master troll, I don't care whether you excuse me for saying so or not.
