Thankfully Bill, > you remind us all of this greater tragedy on a regular basis. Attacking the writer rather than the idea does nothing to further either your ideas or the discussion. If you'd like to discuss the subject matter, by all means, do so. If you prefer personal attacks there are many other places on the net where such behavior is more accepted.

FallRate 0 #55 September 7, 2002 Ok, I'll try to keep my attacks more general...they seem to be more acceptable here. You have said "Americans don't know much", which is fairly general. I will retort: It appears to me that Skydivers from the San Diego area, who work in the tech industry, have a tendency towards arrogance founded on the belief that they are intellectually superior to all other Americans, which is odd considering that their stunted intellectual abilities shine through on every thread. Is that more acceptable? FallRate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skybytch 273 #57 September 8, 2002 QuoteIs that more acceptable? Actually.... no. Back to rule #1... Attack the subject of the discussion, not the person who disagrees with you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
