- Gee, for what reason do you, as a person with none of the above
- qualities of civilized communication, decide to be a spokesman
- for the rest of the group? Or is polite behavior to be limited
- to "C counterparts" only?
-
- Fact about the net:
-
- 1) criticize some feature of C or C++ on a C related newsgroup
- and you get flamed - ad-hominem attacks dominating. They tell
- you in vehement terms not to post anymore.
-
- 2) criticize some feature of C or C++ on a *non* C related newsgroup
- and you get flamed - ad-hominem attacks dominating. They tell
- you in vehement terms not to post anymore.
-
- 3) tell someone not to post C or C++ related articles to a non
- C related newsgroup and you get flamed - ad-hominem attacks
- dominating.
-
- You're right, language choice is correlated with temperament.
- C and/or C++ users are *universally* abusive. That's the whole
- intent of my little experiment. Thanks again for verifying the
- result. (Oh, and that trick of trying to get the last word
- using a followup specification is also typical.)

- Now, I agree with both of those statements. You must be slipping
- a little.
