See, it's part of that "supply and demand" thing, which I was likewise going to get around to explaining to you.

come on squeek, there is a perfectly good flame area
join the group over there. Your excellent technical posts are welcome here but degeneration should be moved to the proper forum.
thanx,

As Mr. Lincoln said, I'm sure it's the sort of thing that will be enjoyed by those who enjoy that sort of thing.
I have no problem with the existence of a padded-walled room for those with uncontrollable urges. Indeed, it seems an excellent administrative idea to give those folks a ghetto where they may act out in seclusion, without disturbing the rest of society. But I just can't see a reason to stoop that low, myself.

My dear squeek
while you are snug in your warm hole (mmmm) enjoying your little nuggets gleaned from the excrement of dinosaurs, beware the fleas waiting about your eyes, arse and mouth seeking sustenance from your leavings. You will ingest such a flea one day giving you your fleating moment of flame.
thank you very much,

Stoop - or just low all the time?
Because it seems like 1 in maybe 10 of your posts are flame-free.
You're just pissing off everyone else by flaming in the wrong forum.
Its that online etiquette thing I keep meaning to explain to you.
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.

Respect is earned, sonny. Your confusing of (merited) disrespect with flames is understandable: We'll explain this to you when you're older.

Boy you're a slow learner
You've only been on usenet - what since 1990 based on googling. And all that energy wasted on sci.skeptic....tsk tsk. I think the most boring of usenet forums. (You'd find my early stuff in net.singles around 1983 or so).
Have you still not learned where the flame forums are and what they're for?
I'm guessin youngsters like you plain missed your netiquette lessons although I did find one author mention you being elevated to global status in his killfile - I really do sympathize there - so little of what you write is worth the reading when mixed so liberally with gasoline and set alight.
Tip - flames - (what you are pleased to call your "well earned disrespect") are much more appreciated in the flames forum.
There will be more lessons as educational opportunities arise.

Re: Boy you're a slow learner
Todd, my lad --
So, now you're trying to not only do the ad-hominem crap and try to sound self-righteous about it, but are essaying some kinda whacko armchair-stalker shtick, too? Do you have absolutely no life?
And I'm sorry, but your feeble stab at tu-quoque lacks interest.
