And herein lies the problem, Unicus. From my point of view, I am treated far worse and put up with more stuff than I have ever given to ANY uiser. So be careful where you point your fingers. It is all to easy to fall into the trap of being judgemetal, Unicus, which is just one reason why I cast very few votes Positive or Negative, I am NOT qualified to judge another person or his behavior.

Skip

I know what your point of view is.  But you have to accept that other people do not share that point of view.  That is all I was saying.  Please stop looking for attacks where none exists...or did you miss the last line of my post? 

Edit:  The exchange between you and surfeur51 makes my point better than I did.  From his point of view, you are the bad guy.  From your point of view, he is.  From the outside, looking in, you both have blood on your hands.  Rather than worrying about who drew first blood, then responding in kind, why not try a little civil discourse? 

Did I throw a rock at Yves, in this thread, Unicus. No I did not, did I mention him in this thread, No I have not. So exactly who is the instigator? Not me, pal. His comment does not lead to civil discourse, any more than Gunnar's does, which is also inflammatory. Does he ever stop to think hmmm, maybe i am part of the problem. I don't think so. Do you Unicus, no I don't think so. Do I see you being EQUALLY critical of users and their CRASS behavior...no, I don't think so. In fact quite the contrary they by and large get a pass on their behavior.

That is the single largest reason fro my decision, the rampant hypocrisy here is more than I can deal with, Unicus. And you are right at the top of that list, BUT take heart you aren't alone.

What I see by and large is we must make Skip behave, we must ALL jump on Skip because he doesn't care how anybody else feels. Whoa, you mean Skip actually has feelings too, Wow!!!! If you care not about mine then trust me I don't and won't care about yours. The number of users that have been driven away, not by me, but they have left because they have seen the hypocrisy heer, is FAR more than I could ever even think about driving away. I am honest and you will KNOW where I stand and how I feel. There are people i will miss interaction, though I am sure i will still see them in PM land, but there are others who will not be missed at all.

You made a joke, now i have to go lok for it. You have said nothing that I considered insulting.

Nope, no insult there.

Skip

With my example I was referring to another thread about half year ago. The reputation system was not active at this time. I think I deserved many red points for my failed joke.

Anyway, thank's for your support 

This whole thread is pathetic and embarrassing.

So what if a user decides to take a break - the world will still keep spinning.
I am not in to these attention seeking performances and grandoise statements in a forum, reminds me of my kids when they were small and acting spoilt and not getting their own way. And having been here a few years I've seen it all before.

Let's grow up a bit, no man is bigger than the programme or the database, and we should be discussing more relevant matters on this forum related to our hobby, not massaging egos or exchanging insults like playground cissies.

And sorry to say, but if he has 160 negative votes and still allowed to post 20+ messages a day, either he is immuned from the whole process already, or the bar is set so high that it doesn't matter how many negatives votes you get it's not going to matter anyway. 

...or maby the negative votes are monitored, and degrading anyones reputation is made by a person not a computer, i.e. if you rate one of skips post negative when there was nothing said to give a negative rate, it wount have any effect.

What a fool I was, what dominated fool,
to think that you were the earth and the sky,
What a fool I was, What an elevated fool,
What a mutton-headed dote was I!
No, my reverberated friend,
you are not the beginning and the end.

There'll be spring every year without you. England still will be here without you.
There'll be fruit on the tree.
And a shore by the sea.
There'll be crumpets and tea without you.
Art and music will thrive without you. Somehow Keats will survive without you.
And there still will be rain on that plain down in Spain,
even that will remain without you.
I can do without you.
You, dear friend, who taught so well,
You can go to Hartford, Hereford and Hampshire.
They can still rule with land without you.
Windsor Castle will stand without you.
And without much ado we can all muddle through without you.

Wihtout pulling it the tide comes in,
without your twirling it the Earth can spin,
Without your pulling it, the tide comes in
Without your twirling it, the earth can spin
Without your pushing them, the clouds roll by,
If they can do without you, ducky, so can I
I shall not feel alone without you
I can stand on my own without you
So go back in your shell
I can do bloody well
Without...

Does anyone else think that I was being a jerk when I suggested that Skip should do a little soul searching? If that is the general opinion I shall gladly offer a public apology to Skip.

Looks perfectly all right to me. You did not say that he was part of the problem but kindly pointed him to some self reflection. Nothing wrong with that.

Oh yeah,

Offering to apologies publicly if I inadvertently acted like a jerk is bad behavior. I guess that why you never do it...
