To all the denizens of YA R&S.?

And, why do you people have these requests deleted by acting like "Report Monkeys"? [which I believe is the term used here, which I find apt as a description.]

Please don't believe in God, if you don't want to, but, at least, learn to behave like decent civil human beings.

Sure, this Forum is for "Questions", but aren't they asking? Doesn't that qualify to be a "Question"?

I've seen the kind of "Questions" posted by the "regulars" here and, I'm sorry to say that I hardly find them worthy of being posted in a decent Forum.

So, when I see them doing this kind of thing, it's saddening.

I don't care much for this thing, because it's hardly more than a pastime to me and I've had to contend with "virtual terrorism" for daring to be honest here; but, I really don't care even if this Question gets deleted or if I lose my account, as a result.

Those of you who feel that we need to bring a semblance of humanity back in here, please give me a star, so that I know who you are.

Peace.

Deke,

You're a TC, too; though you don't have my score of Best Answers; which I earned in Computers & Internet, while I'm losing here, by the way.

Take a look at how long it took me to get to level 7. I've been around much longer thaqn you have, but, you're already a level 6.

Does this tell you something?

Peace.

ST

PS,

However, you've just demonstrated the attitudinal dysfunction that I was talking about, thank you very much.

Shalom alcheim, PW.

As you know, because Cher must have told you by now, I've had a very long detailed correspondence on that subject with her and have even written to Flobot to gather their side of the story. I know your side of it, but, I'm waiting for the other side, right now.

If it makes you happy, I'm sorry I hurt your feelings, but, as I said there clearly, I thought that you were a clone, not yourself.

Of course, a lot of water had flown under the bridge since I last saw you, for the simple reason I don't drop in here often; and the phrasing of your "Q" was confusing which made me think you were attacking us, not those people.

Besides, please see my profile again, if you need, I've had to close everything as a result of coming in here.

Anyway, I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings.

Shalom alcheim, Kallan,

Please refer to my responses to Deke and PW, so that I may avoid having to repeat myself here. You are referring to my reaction to PWs posting where I said that she was a clone, because I knew PW. I didn't know it was PW herself and Cher clarified this. I, also, did not know about the other conflict that you guys had going there; which is why there was the confusion there. But, in all fairness, if you'll kindly go back and read my remarks, I was telling the other Christian ""Leave them alone." What's scathing about that? Yes, I was wrong in thinking that PW was a clone and I did apologize to here, personally.

Frankly, however, I am a bit surprised at how your group gets touchy and hits out. I didn't expect this from Jews, to be honest.

Kol tov.

Touche, Goodieb.

You're, of course, right.

I guess I am generalizing on my little experience here.

Mea culpa.

If it's not the Atheists and Agnostics, could whoever is doing that please stop? It sucks.

By the Kallan, I see that we are both almost the same vintage, and even though you're not a TC, nor have half the Best Answers that I have, you're way ahead of me in points !

This is true of all the TCs I checked out here who've hardly been around for half my time, have low Best Answer scores; but, beat me hollow in the number of Qs Answered !

I guess that does tell us something, doesn't it?

What's making me sad now is that they took away my Computers & Internet badge for my coming here for a couple of weeks, now !? The R&S badge looks like it's a kind of compensation for my asking Qs like this here.

Jaye, I don't know who they are or what motivates this kind of behavior. I wish I did. I think there are a lot of people who are "regulars" here with their own "groups" who spend a lot of time here and use some chinks in the programs to their benefit.

One thing that all of us can do is to star such things where we need to support them because this counters the "Report" mechanism. Also, giving a thumbs up to the people who support our thoughts will help the individual contributor from getting deleted.

I'm saying this from my study of the program coding that I see here in this ASP bulletin board. I'm a Software guy, you see. Actually, I'm into Artificial Intelligence and Robotics and Security Solutions.

My Best Answers score was around 60 % in Computers & Internet because I always helped them resolve their issues and got that awarded as a token of appreciation.

Pity, I'm losing here.

LMAO!

Good one, Kippah !

Amen to that, bro.

I limit my time here for the sake of my sanity, too.

I know I didn't need to do this, because it's none of my business and I'm losing another 5 points; but, I just had to say my bit.

I've tried to make sense with people here, whenever I came in here, but, frankly, it's rather trying. Besides, all you get for trying to do that is a lot of bashing and, finally, you lose your cool, too.

I guess only God can help YA R&S.

Whoops, the "Force" or whatever substitute for "God" is now Politically Correct usage here, nowadays.

Awwww, love Christ. That sucks! You got reported 4 times already?

Heck, since I came in here a couple of weeks ago, despite the fact I Answer a couple of Questions here, max, while I go back to C&I where I spend about an hour; I've been called a hypocrite [for telling a Catholic young lady that there was nothing wrong in her marrying a Hindu guy whom she said she loved] been reported for saying that a Muslim lady who asked how to convert her Catholic boyfriend that she should move on and get a nice Muslim guy to marry her [Not an Answer or Question] 'cause she said she was trying for 2 years now; been generally kicked in the butt for saying anything; but, I never cared for all that. This thing about the poor people asking for help being kicked when they were down was too much for me to take. Look at my profile and you can see what R&S has got me, so far other than losing a badge and points.

Still not giving up on the basic humanity of people and hope it changes.

Sheesh, somebody thumbed you down while I was typing this?

Maan, when will you guys ease up, already?

And, Kallan cup cake, I ain't trying to be no pie-in -the sky guy, either, buddy. LMAO, you sure have your thoughts focused on food, don'tcha?

Well, I hope that I do make some difference to the way people treat these poor people in need.

Somebody needs to stand up for them.

So, might as well be me.

Aww, I dunno if going down to their level is the answer, Chanteuse. But, I guess it would be important to your friend to hit back.

I don't give a damn, really. YA ain't the only forum going and it ain't exactly the best. In Google Answers, you can get paid, for example. I'm just here for the heck of it, actually.

Wow, look at you! You've been here for just a few months more than me and are way ahead of me in the number of Questions Answered. In fact, all of you guys are much ahead of me in that count.

I ain't gonna be coming back here much; because [a] it sucks, [b] there are crazies here who resort to "virtual terrorism" and [c] I'm losing out by being here instead of C&I.

Sometimes I feel like using my Software skills in locating and destroying these jerks here, which is cinch; but, I don't want to denigrate myself to their level. It's counter-productive and I don't want to hit kids.

But, Yahoo needs to work on this, solid.

I'll get a word across to them, soon.

Peace.

Well, it's time for me to choose the Best Answer, now; and I'd like to say that it was great coming to know all of you.

Look, guys, people like me ain't gonna be coming in here too much, because, you see, we've got a lot of other pressures to handle, every day. I'd like you guys to understand that the large majority of the people who come here are just cruising by. With the kind of stuff that goes on here, I can't blame anybody for not wanting to come here again.

So, you guys might have your own little "groups" and your fun time with poking fun or bashing others, but, a lot of guys like me who just cruise by are going to build up opinions about your people from what they see here. This is what I've been trying to tell people here for the past fortnight. Now, you make for the public image that people get about your kind. Be it Christian, Jew or Muslim or whatever. End of the day, ten guys who've come here are gonna tell ten guys each, in the real world "Hey, did you know, ...?"

And, those ten people they said this to are gonna add some spice and tell ten more people about your kind. Over a period of time, you're gonna find a completely different way of treatment on the road or in the mall, to what you had before. Because, quite some time back you people did something here that spread and caused all that ill will.

Now, all I can do is try to get you people to see this fact. What you make out of it is your life,

I'd suggest that all of you get together to make this Forum one where all can come and feel enlightened. Don't be counter-productive. End of the day, this is where you guys hang out, isn't it? So, make it a fun place to be.

My work is done here.

I'm giving this Best Answer to "love Christ" to help her recover some of the lost points by Violations.

However, I think all of you are Winners, in your own way.

Those who ran me down, hey, I forgive you, guys.

But, do try to be more positive, not losers, yo; for your own sakes. It's your lives!

Peace.
