Did you tell everyone that you're a grocery store clerk, and your son

Dancing with the losers? I can't imagine a bigger loser than some
clown who follows people around newsgroups just to plague him or her
with attack posts.

We have quite a few of those here as "regulars."- Hide quoted text -

Not as many as there were at one time.
Other regulars seem to have made some personal adjustments and there
is a less encouraging environment for this type of stuff. People who
used to scrap very bitterly over even the tiniest issues now more
commonly comminicate in a polite manner. Everybody wins when nobody
cares who "wins".

Notice how juvenile something like an attack post really looks when
it's
an anomaly and not the primary theme of the group? Amazing, IMO.

This one was apparently a reaction to something unbelievably silly: There
was a discussion about how toxic chemicals might affect children. That was
followed by the mention of a pediatrician telling me about data on kids with
abnormal levels of something in their bodies. The response:

"And I told you your pediatrician is probably an idiot. An appeal to
authority works only if the "authority" IS an authority. Pediatricans (in
general) are more driven by emotion and political correctness than objective
fact."

I suspect the OP is one and the same person. Is that surprising?- Hide quoted text -

Doug, this is another example of why it might be a good reason to edit
your "send to" line down to include only the group(s) where a
discussion is relevant.

Nobody ever decisively won a newsgroup argument. Not once, and not
ever in the history of the format. With that in mind, a lot of folks
probably think it makes sense to use the medium for something other
than arguing.
