Leadership unites people. You could make your points more effectively without the insults.
FLS, I agree, but I am pretty fired up. The vehement manner in which I respond to the invective emanating from the boards precludes me from displaying a certain degree of civility. Nothing on earth frustrates or angers me more than a bully, in any manner. Everyone in AH is a peer, a member of the same community. If the community has those who would treat others with disdain and cruelness, then the community either tolerates it, or does something about it. I for one have had my fill of bullies in here. The answer is not…hey bud, freedom of speech, you do not like it, do not read it. With freedom of speech comes responsibility. The internet and it’s anonymity has created a sub-culture of worthless excrement who feel they are obliged to mock others. They continue to do so as if they commanded the world, enabled by the very same members of this community they insult.
When an insult is fired away, the moderator has to 1. Catch it and 2. Do something about it. Meanwhile our living turd continues his day, damage done. We certainly cannot censure these guys, they would scream "my rights" although most will have done nothing to earn them. So, what then is the answer?
I for one will not sit idly by. Those who would, or join in the feeding frenzy, are no better than dog excrement, stuck inbetween the treads of you running shoes. Hey, it's all of yours board too. I did not like the insults hurled at HTC. They went beyond whines and were a personal attack. If you read those and said nothing, or jumped on the bandwagon, you by my definition are worthless.
