Eric,
Several days ago, you called me a "troll" because YOU declared that I
had "lost" an argument.
First of all, there was no argument. Usenet has, (or at least until
you arrived on the scene) always been about information exchange and
discussion. Readers can draw their own conclusions.
Second, just because YOU don't see the usefulness of a discussion,
that doesn't make it a priori a troll posting. If a whole bunch of
people had commented that my postings were designed to draw blood and
enflame people's emotions, rather than raise reasonable issues for
discussion.
So, in short, no one appointed you as the king,k czar, the kaiser, the
philopher-king, the king of kings, the shah or the Sun King. All you
prove by your unique "behavior" is that you know how to rave-and-rant.
I can assure you that you win no arguments (or friends) with this
approach. In fact, you may drive away some of the people who most
contribute to this newsgroup.
We would all be better off if you (and one or two others) confined
your comments to the technical issues that are the charter of this
group.
If you do want to engage in ad hominem attacks, then go to
alt.political.whatever.
--W-- Winey, because I am a wine interested person. It is not an
emotional state.
