Those who can, help, Those who can't, complain.

After furious head scratching, _ asked:

| Russ, I've read many posting made by you and have never found you to
| be rude or unpleasant and certainly never have found you to even
| approach cruelty.
| I understand about this being a public newsgroup. I know how
| newsgroups work, but participating a public newsgroup doesn't give
| one permission to be mean-spirited and to hurl insults at people just
| because they may not be as informed as someone else. I also
| understand about the difficulty of conveying humour and irony in
| written text although a guy like Mark Twain - to posit just one
| example - did pretty well.
|
| Milly Staples is obviously very well informed. I've remarked on that
| before. She is also often quite rude and unpleasant even when she is
| imparting her wisdom to the troubled, head scratching masses, but
| worse yet she is also quite cruel and hurtful far too often as well.
| Just because someone is intelligent and more informed doesn't not
| grant one permission to be mean and hurtful to anyone. I find cruelty
| unacceptable under any circumstances and I find that those who resort
| to it are demished by it far more than those who are the target of
| such cruelty. It's been my experience reading this forum for quite a
| while that Milly runs the habit of descending into cruelty on a
| regular basis. I guess I am so aware of this that it was the first
| thing that popped into my head when I read the beginning post in this
| thread; believing it to be just the kind of thing (well...one of
| many) that usually unleashes Milly's ire.
|
| Milly may not have been unpleasant or cruel while reviling anyone
| posting a question about setting up a mail account in Outlook but she
| has certainly been cruel dealing with other subjects. I believe it is
| important to shine a light on such behavior and as I wrote
| previously, my mistake was to have made any reference to it prior to
| her doing so. I'll not respond to Milly's "defense" in this post
| directly, but rather let this stand as that assuming she'll read this.
