Howdy,
I'd like to state that I'm really disgusted with the thread du jour and the
two key participants. It was very nice here for about a month after the last
big blowup. Why did you have to go and mess it up?
Without going through the last month of posts it seems to me that Scott, in
very slight increments, turned up the heat toward Larry. Larry ignored it
completely for a while -- and boy was it nice. And when some certain threshold
was reached, Larry exploded. And now we have this current crap.
Everyone has flare-ups of childish behavior. We can all be forgiven our
occasional transgression of propriety. It is the ridiculous systematic
transgression exhibited by Scott and Larry in their vitriolic treatment of one
another that is especially disappointing. Don't you both know what it would
feel like to be treated the way that you are treating each other and the rest
of us? So why engage in such behavior? Neither of you is abjectly stupid.
What clue are you missing?
You should both be ashamed. If your mothers could see how you are behaving I'm
sure they would be deeply embarrassed at their failure to turn out proper
adults.

Or maybe this kind of interaction only violates my own sense of aesthetic, and
many of you disagree..? As a native midwesterner I have found deep differences
in my expectations of how people should interact and those of the people in my
current surrounds (New Jersey). So I guess I could be over reacting...but it
doesn't feel like it.

| I'll chime in here also as being sick of this. Part of me does want to slap both participants. Part of me realizes that much as I hate to single out folks, Scott seems to contribute almost nothing to Lugnet, except for an occasional interesting (...)

| (...) I've got to agree. But the crassness was cemented for me when Scott jumped on LD for the auctions--that was so very beyond the bounds of good taste, tact, and simple human empathy that I'm still astounded (but not entirely suprised, sadly).
