I think that everyone here at one point or another has been insulted or even attacked for posting to this mailing list. Yes, there are some very 'trigger happy' folks here. More so then other mailing lists.
I am not saying that often enough an email doesn't warrant a good flame, but sometimes I really wish people would put the stress of work, and EGO's aside and have a bit more empathy for each other. After all, there really is no reason to single anyone out, if you don't like the post or the person that posted it. You don't have to reply. Obviously, the original post struck a nerve otherwise there would be no response. I have enough balls to say, "Yes, there are a lot of assholes on this list, and I can honestly say that I'm far from nice and perfect" but for the most part I strive to be helpful and not hurtful. That is what I think the original author was trying to get across.. which, if the wheels stop turning for a few moments, and people remember to breath.. sleep 5 just maybe we can turn this community into a fully self-supported, highly productive, machine that puts an end to this negativity. Which quite frankly, kills productivty. --mike
