You don't know me. How can you make a statement like that woth any sort pf accuracy? The truth is that I don't behave like an ass towards people for no reason. Why should I "feel" good when someone treats me in that fashion? The first thing CAD every said to me was a personal attack based on what he THINKS my age is. Why am I "thin skinned" because I don't like that sort of behavior from a perfect stranger?

Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out who he/she is. Has some BOBDN tendencies but not all of them. It'd be interesting to know the former identity(if there infact is one).

Why did the Dub feel it was necessary to decieve the American Public to support his excellent adventure in Iraq the way he did instead of just coming out and saying that we needed to finish what we started back during his Father's administration? Do you think it was because he knew he wouldn't get the public support he needed to invade and occupy Iraq?

My opinion differs significantly from yours Red. I don't believe for a second that Bush didn't think that Iraq had WMD. I don't believe he, nor his oft cited yet unnamed "handlers" believed Iraq was as pure as the driven snow either. The fact of the matter was that Iraq was bound to document the destruction of their WMD and WMD programs. Iraq did neither to the satisfaction of the UN. The UN weapons inspectors mission was never to "hunt" for WMD's, instead it was to oversee their destruction.

You know what worries me? Where did Iraq's WMD go? They had 'em, now they don't, with no evidence to their destruction.........why wouldn't Bush believe Iraq still had 'em?

Well, based on my highly active 4 year scientific survey of AT forums, I've never seen anyone threaten to kick somebody's ass for so little. Sure, we could get BOBDN to go crazy and threaten us after 10-15 posts of calling him a slobbering idiot. You? Just gotta call you a widdle baby boy. Wait till Corn get's a hold of you, CAD is pretty polite

Anyone else been conducting an ass-kicking threatening survey?

BOBDN He still cracks me up

Offending post by me:

You don't have a clue if you think that 3.5+ million jobs are gone. It's funny when kids make up stories but it's pretty pitiful when ...oh wait - let me guess - you are still in school.

My apology:

If I hurt your little feelings with that "still in school" quip - I apologize.

Later on in that thread:

So, because you see relentlessly childish ad hominen attacks as "so little", I should to? Like I said, without giving too much away, you don't know me or my situation. Let's just say I'm not unique in my responses. Most of the people I grew up with are the same way, only they make no pretense of being reasonable. If CAD tried the sort of BS he does here to my face I WOULD try my best to hurt him. "Why am I "thin skinned" because I don't like that sort of behavior from a perfect stranger?" Can you please address this for me? It's a valid question.

Since you asked so nicely. The internet represents a physical barrier between the participants, keeping them separated and mostly anonymous. For the most part, there are no repercussions for any type of behavior. Words like "troll" and "flame" were invented on the internet. Basically the absence of civility on the internet is a given. It's own culture, you could say.

In this culture, I've seen some quite ferocious attacks. I've been the target of a few of them even. I might have, on a bad day when my nerves were frazzled and my usual decorum failed, issued a few of my own.

From those general standards, the insult you perceived from CAD would rank very low on the scale of attacks. Hence the Thin Skin comment.

Answer your question?

PS You might want to consider anger management classes, if someone calling you "Junior" or the equivalent drives you into a physically violent rage.

LOL, I keep picturing LimpMoron trying his best to hurt CKG.....and being as successful at it as getting a date on any given Saturday night with anyone other than his left hand (I thought I heard him say it feels bigger in his left hand).

Limp, wanna join my fan club? Just threaten to kick my ass and you get the t-shirt.

You're surprised that I asked without calling you a moron first? Interesting. Anyway, true enough. Which is why most product forums have moderators to avoid the sort of endless arguments that make discussions like this turn fruitless and sour. It should be obvious, even in your complex world, that picking at each other like little girls adds nothing to the topic.

As have I, and none of them were worth the power used for transmition. It took me a log time to figure that out, because at heart I like to argue. What happened for me is that I simply got tired of trying to find new and creative ways to damage and/or belittle people I didn't even know. 20+ years of mean-spirited debating made me feel this way. I simply don't think talking to people like asses (unless sorely provoced) makes anything better. If I understand you correctly, you think I'm wrong for feeling this way.

Again, it may indeed be okay for people to behave like this towards you, it isn't for me. That's the way it is, and I'm left wondering why it matters to you so much the way >I< react to what >I< perceive as rotten, childish behavior. I haven't singled you out for counseling, yet. Why do you think I require this service from you?

Completely, and I hope I was able to supply a bit of clarity for you as well.

PS Perhaps. Here's some unsolicited advice for you as well: You might want to consider that some people might not be interested in emulating your behavior, or adopting your perspective. While you're at it, you might also want to develop an understanding of a situation prior to sticking your face into it.

This whole thing makes me laugh Some guy who has only been here a little while goes off on some rant about how things should be when he hasn't experienced anything remotely as bad as it has been or could be. Now that isn't your fault HW, I'm just saying that it's funny to me because alot of us are hardened to it because it is allowed to happen. Does it make it right? no, not really but then again I think sometimes people get a little too sensitive when they percieve they are being attacked.

Here is a thread I started more than a few months back for your edification.
Can we stop the nonsense?

Here is my original post in that thread including the MOD edit voicing support.

This issue has been brought up before but it needs to take a different route this time.

This forum has pretty much deteriorated into a flamefest. I am guilty - you are guilty - damned near all of us are guilty, no matter how subtle or sly you think your post was (I wish I was as creative as some of you though ).
The quality of this weekend's threads/posts are appalling and it needs to stop - NOW!!

We've tried calling out the Mods to do something by posting threads here asking them to moderate - it hasn't happened.
We've tried calling out the Mods to do something by posting in "Forum Issues" - nothing has happened.
The only thing I can think of is that they don't wish to take sides (wise indeed) with doling out vacations/bans and are content with letting us destroy this P&N Forum so they can just shut it down and then not have to deal with it. I do not wish for them to close this forum and I hope that you don't either, but it is the only reason I can think of for their obvious lack of policing. This is not an attack on the Mods in any way - I understand their dilemma and I seriously can't blame them for what they have (haven't) done. WE are the problem - not them.

So I don't know exactly how we can save this forum but I'm sure a few of you have some ideas - SERIOUS IDEAS ONLY PLEASE. One such "idea" that was thrown out somewhere (I don't remember exactly where or by whom) was to "police" our own "side", however it isn't perfect either since some topics by nature are blatantly partisan - but it would be a start. Anyone have any workable suggestions?

We seem to have lost one member tonight due to the quality (or rather the lack there of) of the posting, and I'm sure there are many who have silently left due to the same reasons. Remember - WE are the problem - WE need to solve it - not the Mods.

Sincerely,
CADkindaGUY

/me steps off of soapbox

---

Sticky with thanks and full support from your friendly neighborhood AnandTech Moderators.

Now tell me HW - how has the way you responded to my posts furthered your great cause of civility? That's fine if you think I was "attacking" you by suggesting you were still in school, but you really need to understand the culture here and if you don't like it...you are more then welcome to not participate. The MODS have allowed us a pretty long rope to hang ourselves with - it's up to you and everyone else individually to actually tie the knot and stick your head in. When people do get out of line they are most times taken care of in a swift manner(but sometimes certain others get a little more freedom - you know who you are:Q )

Now seriously, if you don't like the atmosphere - you are more than welcome to leave - otherwise you have just as much bandwidth as the rest of us....MODs willing ofcourse

Carry on.

CkG
