okay, one approach would be to just ignore the bs, don't go into the threads, create other stuff etc. that's all very well, but it does nothing to stem the proliferation of bs, and stemming the proliferation of bs is a good thing i think. other people can still read the thread and make up there own minds, and make their own comments if they wish. they can c ...[text shortened]... ple around to that view, but trying to encourage a genuine exchange of informed opinions.
I think the forums are big enough for everyone. If we all thought the same, it would be one hell of a boring forum don't you think?

i mean, look at Reinfeld's attack on me in the aforementioned thread (moral dilemma 2). do i need someone to jump in and defend me from that? of course not, and not just because he's a lightweight.
if the thread gets off-topic, i'm fine with that too. that's how conversations go, rolling from one topic to the next.

Or just disagreeing with you?
Imagine 7 or 8 of those on a daily basis!

yeah, i'd say that's an attack. i'm not complaining, mind - just pointing out that i don't need someone leaping in to defend me from such.
if i was getting 7 or 8 attacks/criticisms a day, from various people, maybe i'd start wondering why i attracted these attacks, when no-one else does. hmmm, there's a question for you Bobby.

Personally, I would save the person I loved before the other 5. Some would say that was wrong, but I would be able to sleep better at night.
GB is more than capable of defending himself, as are you. It just gets tiresome watching people go into his threads for the sole pupose of throwing insults.

Who said, they do not do it to others? I did not, so you are just assuming that they don't. Because you may feel you don't, doesn't mean that others do not. I don't know that you are even part of the little group, or not as of yet anyways.

Originally posted by Very Rustyi don't enter GB's threads just to hurl insults. why would i? would it be time well spent? i don't go around generally hurling insults in people's threads. so what is different about GB's posts? the bs, of course. i think obstructing the flow of bs is always time well spent.

i guess we'll just have to disagree on this.

if you think otherwise, please name the group and i'll do what i can to set your mind at rest on that score.
i haven't seen anyone criticised nearly so widely here as GB is.

Originally posted by BlackampAll we would have to do, is look at the amount of times you do go into GB's threads, and rather you agree or disagree with him. The answers are all in the posts we make, for anyone to read.

I have defended GB's right to post what he wants for sometime now, the same as I would yours or most of the other people here at RHP. It is all there in my Public Post history for all to see.
It has really helped me to break out of my shyness. 😉

You kidding? Gulliver absorbed 1000's of incessant and violent Lilliputian arrows, daily, as little more than incidental pinpicks.
