Sigh, such is the dynamic here. But it is a mistake not to give him his due. The guy is deep, complex, very talented, and may well be a genius. His animations on Sesame Street probably amused, and yes, educated, the majority of the current generation of English speakers in their younger years.
As one who has always greatly valued this group, and what it can offer, it is a shame that Mike C also happens to be a genius at bullying people.
Hey there Mike R! Well, I simply killfiled him. I went to his site and he does really great work. What I don’t understand is what’s his purpose here?
I have told people many times… even though you have me filtered… I will mention it again.
I post in newsgroups for my own amusement. No other reason is needed.
Just to insult people and bully them?
How insulted or bullied someone chooses to feel is totally up to them. Silly people need to learn how to take responsibility for what they think and how they feel. It is not my job to make them feel good or bad. I post messages, they (silly people) then choose to feel good or bad on their own as a response to those messages.
To what end?
Ask the goofy people that choose to feel threatened or bullied or scared, or any number of things as a result of reading messages in newsgroups.
Just because he’s a creative and skilled artist doesn’t give him a reason to act like he does.
Being an artist is unrelated to what I do in newsgroups. I read and post in newsgroups for my own amusement. What you do for a living is not related to what you post in newsgroups, so why should my work have anything to do with messages in a newsgroup. I see no reason for you to think they are linked.
Acting like he does takes away from his
talents.
Does your goofy message here take away from your work related talents?
Chuckle.
I don’t care how creative a person is, if he acts like this guy does, no one wants anything to do with him.
That is not your choice to make. You don’t make the choices for "everyone".
You are funny.
":^)
There’s no excuse for a person to act this way, whether it’s in real life or on the Net.
"Act this way"? What way am I acting? I post my opinions, I post as I wish. Is that what is bothering you? That I post as I wish, and not as YOU wish I would?
Chuckle. You really are funny.
":^)
Most people would never talk to another
person in real life like that for fear that they might get a fist in the face.
Is that your fear? I think you are saying much more about yourself than anything about me.
":^)
Of course here, it’s anonymous so no one has to fear that, but being rude to others is just inexcusable.
You poor baby. Did someone be rude to you?
":^)
To others here, why can’t you just not say anything to a poster that rubs you the wrong way instead of insulting them or belittling them?
Try taking your own advice.
":^)
I don’t understand why people feel the need to belittle someone for any reason.
Why don’t you look inside and tell why you are attempting to do that very thing to me?
Chuckle.
By insulting someone, it just makes you look small.
How big are you?
":^)
When someone comes here to ask a question, if you don’t want to help them, then don’t. Is it necessary to make fun of them because they don’t know something?
Remember… they don’t have to respond to messages that they don’t like. Did you forget your own advice?
":^)
Isn’t that what this group is for?
The newsgroup is for many things. You don’t get to decide for anyone but yourself how to use the newsgroup.
