Well, UT, I'll tell you. I have never OFFERED to moderate, or ATTEMPTED to moderate. I have offered some perspectives about Usenet groups and newsgroups, as have MANY others. I've been threatened with physical assault. I've been threatened with having my ISP close me down. I've been accused of beastiality. I've been accused of sodomy. I've been accused of pther strange sexual deeds I've beem ridiculed for my education. I've been ridiculed for my profession. I've had my Web site slandered and defamed. I've been the butt of derirsive nicknames. I've been "ad hommed" in about any other way I've seen on the Net. I've been stalked and spammed by folks making cracks about my education, profession, or off-line life, when posting about other topics. And NOBODY has voiced ANY objection to any of this. (Except Scott.) Nobody's seen anything wrong or dysfunctional about any of this. But if I dare REPLY to any of this, a LOT of people voice their objections fasdt enough! Tell me I'm "flaming." I haven't tried to moderate anyone ELSE's discussion. >I see you are really good with THE CAPS LOCK KEY I can't post in rich text, so I can't italicize. >I have seen you make inflamatory posts and then complain about other flames >at you. Any examples? Disagreement, and calling people on their b.s., is not "imflammatory." It's like the guys in jail, who rail on the cops for being there to bust him when he's just "doing his thing." People HATE having their hands caught in the cookie jar. >You have complained about people trying to moderate you, even though you say >you get paid to do it. Huh?? You wanna go back and re-think that one? Makes no sense. I get paid for having people trying to moderate me? Duh ... >You call other people to be accountable but don't like to back your >statements up. I've backed up everything I've said. Prove me wrong. >You see Bert, we are not a bunch of damaged angry men who need to belong to >No Wo(menz) groups to get through life. We don't actually have a problem >here on the NG. Ph, no. No problem at all. People threaten me with physical violence. People act to have my ISP disconnect me. Peole revile my education and my profession. People defame my Web site. Nobody sees anything wrong with any of this. No, we don't actually have a problem on the NG. XlMeister Vail: Obe Wann-be Knobe says "May the farce be with you."
