Post #76,630 by Yendor 1/24/03 7:58:57 AM Reply	What would I do? I don't know how you would react to having such nonsense thrust at you continually, Mike, but you may certainly have my share. Read [link\|/forums/render/content/show?contentid=74615\|this post], and you will see that, generally, when things start turning into a flame-fest, or name-calling, etc...I generally just tune it out. So...that's how I react to such nonsense. I treat it as exactly what it is. Nonsense. It is, after all, just a website. Just a threaded discussion with a bunch of people -- some of whom I've met, and some of whom I'll likely never meet. But that's how it goes. At the end of the day, it's just an online discussion. -YendorMike [link\|http://www.hope-ride.org/\|http://www.hope-ride.org/]

When someone intrudes into my life with rubbish, I attempt to dispose of the rubbish. (wIWETHEY, alas, lacks killfiles.) If that doesn't work, e.g., we have a case of someone who does not get a clue when I tell him to go away and I'm not his personal research service, and whose pattern of intellectual dishonesty offends me, then we have an ongoing problem, which I generally resolve by bulldozing it out of my way. The question, in any event, was (obviously) rhetorical: I'm not seeking advice from someone who immediately resorts to assinine drive-by rhetoric like "ObMyDickIsBiggerThanYours". But if you wish to volunteer to deal with that other person ("have my share"), by all means do it if you can. Rick Moen rick@linuxmafia.com If you lived here, you'd be $HOME already.
Post #76,743 by tuberculosis 1/24/03 2:30:19 PM Reply	Difference of opinion == intellectual dishonesty? Wow Floored. Thats what I am. I don't need you to be my research service. You've mixed your inputs with your outputs (try polling the input buffer every now and then - you'll seem like less of an ass). I think that it's extraordinarily important that we in computer science keep fun in computing. When it started out, it was an awful lot of fun. Of course, the paying customer got shafted every now and then, and after a while we began to take their complaints seriously. We began to feel as if we really were responsible for the successful, error-free perfect use of these machines. I don't think we are. I think we're responsible for stretching them, setting them off in new directions, and keeping fun in the house. I hope the field of computer science never loses its sense of fun. Above all, I hope we don't become missionaries. Don't feel as if you're Bible salesmen. The world has too many of those already. What you know about computing other people will learn. Don't feel as if the key to successful computing is only in your hands. What's in your hands, I think and hope, is intelligence: the ability to see the machine as more than when you were first led up to it, that you can make it more. --Alan Perlis
