For instance, saying "This set is crap" is very
very different (at least in my mind) from saying CRAP x 12 in the title of
a post.  And getting worse as you read through the post.

Alright, I didn't want to jump into this one to continue a thread with a
seemingly offensive title (which is worse than strting it, IMHO), but this is a
bit much.

Frustration over what Matt thought he saw happening was perfectly justified. I
know I felt the same way, but couldn't find a way to post about it without
offending everyone. Matt found a way. True, it isn't the cleanest message, but
just how many messages riddled with anger and frustration over a situation we
can't resolve truely are?

Banning is a BAD idea. Negative reinforcement never solved anything. I suspect
that having this thread continue in the fashion it's going is punishment enough
for Matt, as I'm certain this was never his intent for writing it in the first
place.

So everyone else...just chill out, let this thread go. I'm tired of seeing this
title show up again and again needlessly.

(...) I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you didn't bother to actually read the thread I pointed to. eric (23 years ago, 31-Oct-01, to lugnet.admin.general)
