KrilliC, > And u say that u don't instigate the problems. Just opeining a door to get us all out of the group! There's not point in clogging up the works with "mindless botting" as our troubled friend would put it. > Why don't we just create a group for the three of U (i.e Rod, Chris and to a > lesser extent Josh B). All I ever see u people post are the exact opposite of > what Rod post whether he may be right or not (I'm not saying that Rod is > always correct) but from what I can see u have taken it upon yourself to > disagree with him just for the fact that you see a post from him. I have to > say that Rod need to calm down a bit but but he isn't the only one who is > causing the flaming war, u are contibuting to it as much as he is, if not > more. Actually Rod and I have agreed on several points in the past. But on others not. It's the 'nots' that are the problem, and the way his arguments (for want of a more accurate term) are put that irritates the hell out of me and many, many, many people. This iritation with Rod has led to the establishment of .web pages dedicated to him and his unique style of debate. He's even won the "Net.Kook of the Year" award - these aren't my sites - they're run by people who have been driven SO mad by him they felt this was the only way to get their own back! As for Josh, if you actually look at the Josh/Rod interactions you'll find they are almost ALL initiated by Rod. Josh makes a comment and Rod jumps down his throat. > Take a leaf out of Steve's book if u don't like what he posts ignore him > unless he does a personal attack which I haven't seen him do untill u > instigated it first. There is a very old saying which I've always kept in mind - partly becasue of my origins. It runs: "The British are a tolerant race but vicious when provoked". I've had a LOT of provocation, turned the other cheek MANY times and got that slapped as well. This is just a means of getting us all out of the groups. No 'flame' intended - as such. I know you mean well, but until he's had REAL go at you you won't understand fully why otherwise reasonable people find it necessary to behave like we do. By the way - Rod CAN'T 'calm down'. When I said he's physocally incapable of leting someone else get the last word I meant it. Have you followed any of his threads? If you do you'll see what I mean. Trust me - would I lie to you??? :)) -- Chris (Keeping the dream alive) NSW ---------------------------------- The difference between a duck is that one of its legs are both the same. ----------------------------------
