Re: Re: Opinions / Votes Needed

Wow, Tony, do you think in the future you could try to express yourself with just a bit more civility and in a less condescending tone? Nathan expressed some thoughts he had, politely, and when out of his way to come across in a non-critical and non-confrontational manner. Tony Marston wrote:

Absolute rubbish!

There's just no need to insult other list members like this. Frankly, it's this kind of treatment that make these lists less productive than they could be. It intimidates less experienced programmers from asking good questions, lest they get treated the way Nathan was. And isn't helping out less experienced coders one of the reasons this list exists? And it also makes others less inclined to participate, or drop off the list entirely. It's NOT just so we can blast each other and show off our highly dubiously assumed superiority. With all the frustrations we put up with in our daily lives, I would hope a list like this, especially since we are among colleagues, could be a place we could at least cautiously expect to be treated with respect. -- ==================================== Skip Evans Big Sky Penguin, LLC 503 S Baldwin St, #1 Madison WI 53703 608.250.2720 http://bigskypenguin.com ------------------------------------ Those of you who believe in telekinesis, raise my hand. -- Kurt Vonnegut
