- # A while back I ran into something like this on talk.abortion. I admit
- #that I initially went overboard in the content of my postings, but I got
- #flamed worse after I tried to tone down my articles. I even got flamed
- #after acknoweldging the need for compromise and attempting to find
- #common ground. There were even a couple of users who expressed an
- #arrogant, holier-than-thou attitude against college students and newcomers
- #to the net, repeatedly questioning the right of 'some people' to have net
- #access due to their opinions. They flamed so much that you couldn't even
- #tell what side they were one since they were making personal attacks
- #almost exclusively. Most of my articles had responses telling me how
- #stupid I was or thatI should leave the net until I 'learn proper procedures',
- #similar to what happened to Chaney and others, no matter how logical or
- #polite my postings
- #
- # No one kicked me out either, I left voluntarily as well. I had gotten
- #tired of the pointless flaming and the occasional nasty e-mail, sent
- #anonymously of course.
