So Chris, having complained about LUGNET, and now moved on to complain about
JLUG (my two favourite forums, incidentally), can I ask you what site you

I did not complain about LUGNET. I simply commented that participation here is
down, and that I hope this forum will return to some semblance of its former
self. (Please note that the subject line of
my post on that topic was phrased as a
question, and not a declarative statement.) It should be obvious that I was
doing nothing more than expressing my concern for the continued well-being of
one of your favorite forums.
I did not complain about JLUG, either. However I did complain about the public
behavior of many of the posters on that board. Reading the threads over there,
I had the same kind of reaction that I have whenever I see somebody proudly
making a complete @$$ of themself in public. It makes me wonder what kind of
horrors they must have suffered during childhood that made them into such
damaged adults. So damaged that they don’t show the least bit of remorse after
they purposely go out of their way to hurt others.
I do find it enlightening to compare the remarks that people post here with the
remarks they post over there. I am glad that the Dr. Jeckyl’s of LUGNET are at
least able to contain their inner Mr. Hyde somewhere else, but a number of
prominent members of this board have lost all credibility with me simply because
they have exposed their ugly innards for all to see. And for that, I thank
Janey, as she has surely provided a valuable service to LUGNET by drawing them
out in the open.
