Rick -- Would you rather I just not send these notices to you?

It’s OK.


Below is exactly the kind of thing we're all grinding our teeth about.

Edg

Putting this in party context, here’s how it went down. Bronte, Turq and Off
World have all had a few too many:

· Bronte calls Turq a “guru enthusiast”

· Turq is rightly offended, but overreacts, calling Bronte and
others “idiots.”

· Bronte tries to explain but Turq isn’t buying it.

· Edg and Rick, who haven’t had as many, try to get Turq to lighten
up a bit.

· So far, the party guests only sense a bit of tension over in one
corner, and haven’t begun fetching their coats.

· Off World, being a Scotsman, has had quite a few and plunges into
the conversation with a few choice ones, saying Turq

o   only wants to talk to people who pet his ego which is in so much need of
saving. 

o   was extremely rude to other people here, 

o   engages in never ending slander that fills up FFL, 

o   contributes mostly self-absorbed monotonous poorly written monologues. 

o   Has a hatred for women, except for those who are far too young for the
old man.

· Hmmm. It does seem that he’s attacking the man rather than dealing
with the points at hand.

· Now the guests are sensing trouble, moving away from that corner
of the room, and eyeing escape routes. How will Turq respond? Will he ignore
the insults, his proclaimed response to such insults? Will travel fatigue
and bad margaritas get the better of him? Can we all just shift to more
interesting topics or must we see fisticuffs?

· Stay tuned.

  Rick, this is hysterical. I laughed my head off.

Apart from that I am just emulating the style I learned from Turq. 
Attack the person, not the argument.

Many here have done that, but we’re trying to get away from that sort of
thing. If we can do it, I think it will improve FFL considerably. So please
be a sport and give it a try.
