The post that was quoted here has been removedBlackamp and I were actually having a civil conversation.
Too bad we don't see more of this in the GF, it would make the place better don't you think?
Everyone has a point of view and is entitled to it, but if you dislike a certain poster, I see no reason to keep going into that posters thread, and throwing insults at him or her, and I am sure you would agree with that.
When does it come to a point where it is stalking, instigating, or inciting?

it's just yet another attempt by GB to start a 'discussion' that he will try to control, passing judgement on any well-intentioned posts people contribute - praising the ones that conform to his views and criticising the rest. he doesn't want a discussion, he wants people to be converted to his own views. if the thread strays from the topic (as gf threads a people unfamiliar with the territory that he knows all about it.

"if i was getting 7 or 8 attacks/criticisms a day,from various people, maybe i'd start wondering why i attracted these attacks..."
You kidding? Gulliver absorbed 1000's of incessant and violent Lilliputian arrows, daily, as little more than incidental pinpicks.

and he's an intellectual lightweight. i interact with genuinely very intelligent people on a daily basis (i make no such claim for myself), and it's easy to spot the fakes.

I don't say those bad words in the public forums! π
Oh I think "well" should have an upper case W since it starts your sentence...but hell who am I to correct gramma, or speeeling. π΅
