Don't assume what my silence means. You had asked for my opinion on bad
posting behavior aimed at you and I actually took some time to read some
of your post history here to decide. My opinion is that you are a two
faced, smiling, manipulative troll, being friendly and helpful with one
face while carrying out an agenda of attacks and defamation aimed at
some of the most knowledgeable posters here with the other face. It's a
shame because you are a bright, knowledgeable guy. I was just going to
keep it to myself and not say anything, but if you are going to try to
use my silence to mean something, that's what it meant.
Bruce,
The fact that you would understand "*ALL* the others" as referring
*ONLY* to *YOU* is a prime example of "reading into". As I always say:
*context* and *read*. Don't "read into". The same goes for the posting
history "review" which you've obviously done without taking the
context or objective facts into account to draw such "conclusions".
I don't see your name mentioned above so I see no reason why you take
it personally. Except, of course, if there's a chip on your shoulder.
And, indeed, the rest of your reply clearly shows there is. With an
attitude and prejudice like that you have clearly made up your mind
(based solely on your feelings) and no fact will convince you
otherwise. Fair enough. You're certainly entitled. However...
Since I don't engage in pointless name calling I will now return to
ignoring your messages, even those that - on surface - may appear
genuine, like the one I originally responded to in this (sub)thread.
In closing, a two-part rhetorical question:
- Is that how a troll behaves (i.e. actively *avoiding* flame wars)?
- Can you exercise the same amount of self-discipline (especially
bearing in mind *your* past posting history calling Don names)!?
Food for thought!
Don.
