The lowest form of writing and argument evidently dominates FFL with their diluting flood of the post-count of FFL. As an elder of the FFL community here I implore you Rick, please save our FFL from the lowest form of argument on FFL, the Ad hominem . These people's abuse of the list and community here with the Ad hominem is too much. Something radical, something different needs to be done to save FFL as a spiritual and free place. > > Sincerely, > > -Buck > >
Yep, name-calling and the ad hominem are truly the lowest forms of argument and should certainly be outlawed in civil society and all Yahoo groups as needless abuse. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a7/Graham%27s_Hier\ archy_of_Disagreement1.svg/375px-Graham%27s_Hierarchy_of_Disagreement1.s\ vg.png > > Yes, something radical. Well should FairfieldLife [FFL] at Yahoo-groups be improved spiritually by outlawing personal attacks between writers. Yes. You know, like actually enforcing the new Yahoo-groups rules by moderation. If the strong hand of a FFL moderator won't do for it, then maybe the Yahoo-Groups management can now be called in to save us all from the abuse of the Ad hominem hominids here. >
