I am with you Lee on that one-it is disappointing that threads get locked down because of the same individuals making statements that serve no purpose-other than personal attacks and slurs -maybe they should be banned from RCU-I am sure there will be someone think their rights have been stepped on if RCU chunks them out.
A man congratulates another man humbly-and then the discussion or rants resorts to pet projects, paid moles, eavesdropping, character of individual, and the list goes on.
I am not perfect by no means and have posted statements before that were not appropriate-but I do not log on everyday just to spew insults across a public forum.
Would these people continue these actions in person-face to face? I bet not-maybe the solution is to drop the screen names and tag lines and substitute your real name and address online. (accountability)
Pot, Kettle, Color, etc
Oh, wait... there is a little snippet that isnt just sniping other posters at the end:
Anyway back to the topic-I am sure Mark Smith will do a great job and we should I am thankful that we had two great candidates to choose from.
Yes, the same individuals get threads locked with negativity against posters rather than talking on topic.
I believe the chronology would be
Bashes, Defences, Bashes, Mod Warning, Bashes, Defences, Lock.
I cant help but consider there would be a whole lot less Defences if there was less Bashing/Sniping.
Such as this defensive post. I acknoleged the new EVP without negetivity and already had to defend off the snipes of it, why would I post again after the Mod posted? PJ's post-Mod 90% snipe posting brings the defensive posts behind it. We could have skipped the whole deal if there was no snipe to defend.
This thread was a great place for folks to say good luck /best wishes to the new EVP,
but folks spent their time bashing other posters and having to slip some 11th hour negativity on the other candidate rather than be positive for the winner.
Just like last years Congratulations thread.
Nobody wants to be nice here, even my Indifferent post here was picked at by the AMAHaters to make sure we had more negativity in the thread. Well, other than Hoss of course: His OP was very nice. Good on him.
We cant even get the Chosen Ones to stop lurking long enough to give a Way To Go, or Best Wishes Good Luck.
