Re: Ad Hominem behaviour in this forum thread


 

It is always good to hear from you Dave.

IMO there is nothing wrong with a bit of bantering around especially with self absorbed fools who profess to know so much about amps and tubes but know so little but never stop trying to impress others.

I let them rant on a few times but when my patience wears out I swing the Louisville Slugger. Some get the message but others keep coming back for more and still cant finish a coherent debate on the subject.

How is Londonstan these days?

I take your point that we shouldn't be hurling abuse at each other but do we really need someone like (as Carl described him) King George III watching and judging our comments? Who watches the watchers and judges the judges? I respect other people but I don't respect their self-appointed "right" to authority over me.
We're all grown up blokes who've been around the tracks. We're not like the precious little snowflakes at British universities who need their "safe space" and feel traumatised by anyone who holds opinions outside their world view.


Personally I prefer freedom.


If someone is rude to you, then tell them to "awa' and bile yer heid" as my colleagues in Aberdeen would have said.


Have a nice day, folks :)

Yes, and George's recently publicised set of prescriptive rules and posting
guidelines are very befitting and appropriate..

Ham radio interest group forums are intended for friendly exchange of
discussion and sharing information relating to the topic; not for off-topic
noise and crass and uncalled for ad hominem attacks.

Speak to the topic; not gratuitously attack the person for holding view and
opinion different from your own.....

And King George III recently posted that he will be monitoring AMPS closely
and blocking ALL off topic posts! Gee, like so much bandwidth is used on
that long obsolete forum.

Don't let the door hit you in the ass Leigh.....bye bye.

There are several more modern AMP forums these days that allow pictures,
audio, and even allow off topics.

It's a damn pity this now low traffic / semi-defunct ham amplifiers forum
doesn't have a principled Moderator like George Fremin III K5TR who oversees

the Amps group where such uncalled for rude and crude ad hominem comments
are screened and deleted and rightly don't make it to the forum.

Now don't you start Alek...you are one of the Aussies I actually like!

AND who doesn't speak like some overblown ego Brit in order to cover
incompetence...or is it incontinence?

YAWN

At least Rich and I were friends since about 1996 and I miss him

I can't say the same about you. Go back under your GU-74B rock and behave

Indeed Joe, the forum has been quite slow since the sad demise of central
protagonist Rich Measures and the Rich / Carl sideshow jousts...

There's more interesting activity on the Amps group nowadays.
