Atta Girl, Laurie. Insult the group, then ask for help.
Why didn't _I_ think of that?g


Perhaps that was a bit harsh but in any case was directed only at those
who post or xpost OT content (why do they do that anyhow? - there are
other much more suitable groups; the ones with "politics" in the name
for example).



Some of us consider this group to be a grand meeting place for people
who are interested in machining, or actively engaged in it in various
aspects.



It is also unfortunately a place for "some of us" not to engage in
reasoned discussion/debate but to hurl insults, threats and invective
and, OT posts or not, that happens with lamentable frequency. That is
the bigger issue IMO.

A recent example:

"Odd..I assumed the readers would be able to follow along. You of course
are in denial, so no matter what I posted, you would simply scrunch up
your widdle face, start squalling and probably **** your pants as you
hunched around in a tight little circle while shrieking and stamping
your widdle feet.

But hey...next time You post..Ill start counting and pointing out your
lies. Its quite easy to do.

But son? Wear a diaper before spewing out one of your lie filled
posts..ok? Cause I really hate the smell of ****."

But I will cease now for fear of being accused of not practicing what I
preach.
