| | Posted: | | | | Well this is turning into a mud throwing thread.
Just remember folks it is Ken's product and Geri and Ken's rules. This is not a public domain software app but Invelos' app. Since Ken and Geri are invelos then they make the rules and they so far have done a great job of listening to the users. None the less it is their product and if anybody does not like the rules of the game, leave.
Remember the Golden Rule, "the person with the gold - RULES". Right now Ken and Geri have the gold and they rule.
Yes I agree with skip and GOD BLESS AMERICA. |

Your complaints about the community are nothing to do with the system, but everything to do with the users. Do you honestly think they would become nicer people if the rules were relaxed?
Wow! That really sums things up quite nicely.  Oh, this brings me to tears. Let's ALL have a great big group HUG!! Sorry, got the wrong quote, should have been northbloke's quote. | | | Jim

This annoys me. I've seen several people say that surfeur51 whines about the rules. Well, I've read an awful lot of the forum and although surfeur51 refers to his displeasure often, it is no more so than an awful lot of other users drone on and on about the same old things (more than one already having responded in this thread).
I keep reading again and again about 'I want more languages' (amongst others). The only difference between this 'whining' and surfeur51's 'whining' is that no-one has any strong opposing view on languages. Even if you think surfeur51 has been expressing his views inappropriately (in the wrong threads, too often, whatever), I don't think that anyone should try and obstruct someone lobbying for their position. This thread is a good way to do that, and counter to the comments so far in this thread, the voting suggests a fairly significant split in opinions which I think validates surfeur51's right to the discussion (although the significant majority so far opposes his view).
Stop dumping on someone because they have a different opinion! 
And Skip - you're a racist, prejudiced p***k! So far, because of someone's nationality and because they have an opposing view to you, you have likened them to an evil regime collaborating with an evil dictator who was responsible for millions of deaths, and then directly to another dictator, also responsible for millions of death. Why? "Sufreur doesn't agree with me, he clearly has mental problems!"
Go screw yourself!
And if you think that my outburst above is more of an insult than you've been throwing around, you're also an idiot! I'll tell you what though. If you apologies for causing the offense (and it is pretty openly and obviously offensive, so you've got no defense), I'll take all my comments back. But you won't, will you, because I've never seen you apologize for your 'comments'?
[Breath]
And on topic, I don't really agree with a lot of the rules (far too prescriptive - lacks the flexibility to meet majority need), I agree with northbloke that it is the users that are the vast majority of the problem. Even if changes were made to the rules, I don't think that it would improve attitudes.

Pathetic, and just precisely why should I respect your opinion, richie?<scratching my head> That is not a rhetorical question, BTW.
Hmmm I was just wondering where in this thread to make a personal attack on Achim or Richie, I can't find it
@Patsa, I think outside the box quite nicely thank you, sir ma'am or it as apropos. But you are not going to build a quality database without standards, and contrary to popular opinion oif people who know little of the topic, you don't ignore the standards once they are set and you don't constant move the goal posts.

Skip I've had the equal ops training and performed the function professionally. I'm quite comfortable that your comments fall into the widely defined category of racism: 'attributing a negative characteristic to someone because of their race or nationality, often implying ones own racial superiority'. You attributed a negative characteristic to someone based solely on their nationality, and used it to imply a racial inferiority. Racism. I call it as I see it (to emulate a certain someone).

Whilst not having been very consistent or reliable in my calling out of inappropriate comments, I have approached surfur about comments made towards you, and he acknowledged that they were wrong. You on the other hand, have never expressed any remorse about any comment made towards anyone that I can recall (despite the MANY opportunities you have created for yourself to do so). I just want to draw attention to that fact that Skip has not only failed to apologize, his response was "ROFLMAO". How jolly for him that he finds amusement in spreading his brand of hatred (no that I think he'll see it as anything but a playful joke). Personally, I find it sickening and disgusting, attributes I suspect I shall forever associate to this 'person'. Sorry surfur (any everyone else for that matter), I seem to have destroyed your thread with my own, less than squeaky clean response. Congratulations on not responding to this filth. On topic, I do sympathise with your viewpoint, but most seem to think that it's not the rules that are the (main) problem. Stuart | | | This is a sig... ... ... yay...

| | Posted: | | | | Stuart: The French are not a Race, nor anything ethnic. If you believe it to be racism obviously your equal ops training is sadly lacking. The Brits are not race either. The Brits have a very strange definition indeed when it comss to race. I am not politically cirrect and no one in this group has ny ability to change it. I can't be polite and friendly to Yves, I have tried it, it only invites nasty remarks from him. He is interested in only one thing and he will drag that dead horse all over the barn. ANYONE here, and there are a lot of you, who believe you arer qualified to sit in judgement of me or anyone else in thsi forum is dead wrong. People who live in glass houses should not be throwing stones. I will treat people in precisely the manner I am treated by them, think about that people. You treat me like dung and I will treat you in like manner. My behavior is determined by you. Got it...GOOD!!!!  I have said it before people, you like to use me for pinata, that is fuine, but then don't act all surprised and indignant when once in a while the pinata hits back. Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

Skip What you wrote was blatantly bigoted and unacceptable to me, Skip. In the past, you have called me your friend. If you cannot apologize for your horribly bigoted attack (however you may think it was provoked), do not ever call me "your friend' again, because my one great level of intolerance is for intolerant jerks. And that is exactly what you have shown us all here, Skip. I do not care how Yves might have provoked you. Nothing he could have written would justify your bigotry. Your response was uncalled for even if he had personally attacked you. You want us to consider you to be the better person? It starts by you being a better person. Yet, his post was about the rules. It contained nothing about France and the USA, it merely wrote about the dificulties of anyone who does not speak English well having a great understanding of any nuances that the rules might contain. That, my ex-friend, does not constitute any reason to refer to Yves as Napoleanic, nuts, or having anarchy in his blood because he is French. Those, sir, are bigoted remarks. And you seem to want to defend them. You've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency? | | | If it wasn't for bad taste, I wouldn't have no taste at all.

Skip No, your comments were racist, bigotted, xenophobic - take your pick, all 3 perhaps?  Why not just call Yves a 'whiner' - that is an acceptable insult as it is not cultural,demographic, economic or ethically racist. Quoting skipnet50: Quote:

Skip Please do as you feel suits, my respect for you went when I woke up to the games you play on this forum and in your 'tactical' voting and contributions. You are a trouble-maker, a bully and a hindrence to development and progress. I'm sure you would love to embroil me in a lengthy verbal battle as you have with so many others, but I am above that and will not play your game. RR | | | |
