YOU HAVE JUST PROVEN MY POINT. Instead of saying that we will do our best to teach Carmen how to behave and otherwise ignore his troublesome behavior, you chose instead to attack a fellow member of the list whom you do not even know. What do you call that behavior?
In any case, Carmen's netiquette errors have now far been outnumbered by notes by adults whining and complaining about his presence on the list.
No, not really. Very few of us have bothered to attack other list members.
Honestly people - just hit the delete key or set up filters if you can't deal with his mistakes. Life is too short for this degree of tension and intolerance.
And in so doing, you have created more tension and intolerance than has been shown to Carmen by the very many caring and helpful people on this list.
I've been just reading all the posts, and while I find some of Carmen's posts a little annoying, I just remember that he is in learning mode and making mistakes is a part of learning. However, I've seen some adults on this thread act like they are "perfect" & never made any mistakes when they were 10 years old and learning. Amber has tried to be reasonable about this, yet these "little mister perfects" have started attacking her. Bottom line: NO ONE is forcing you to read all of these posts so you can just skip over them. I'm on several e-mail lists and get hundreds of messages every day; I don't read everything, just pick and choose. When I'm don't with the list, I trash all the messages. I only have filters to send the incoming mail to the appropriate mailbox.
