"Dear Cynic,
Why am I not surprised by that? You have all of what, 32 posts here?
Please don't tell me that you ever, not even once on a bad day, ever used any information that you have read on this board. For if you did, I'd have to say that you are even more full of crap than you really are and that would be saying something.
You remind me of the doom and gloom people who post that the world is dying because of over-population.
Quit the talk and do the right thing just do yourself. Spare the rest of us all the whining self-indulgent and self-important drag because we don't care.
Trust me on this, nobody will miss you and you will be saving the Planet too!
Regards,
Tim Murphy"
Dear Mr. Murphy,
IMHO, Cynic has as much of a right to voice his opinion (as hard as it is to understand some time) on this board as you or me - whether you agree or disagree, or just don’t like what he has to say. He attacked no one, didn’t use foul language, stayed on topic, and does not fish worms with gang hooks on wild trout streams (at least to our knowledge). Actually YOU broke the rules with YOUR personal attack – not him.
As far as posters having to “earn their stripes” with many posts to voice an opinion - I’ve never believed in that. It matters not to me if the poster has 3, 30, 300 or 3000 posts. I, and I believe many other board members, filter the value and validity of the information based on the history, or lack thereof, of a poster. And if you don’t like what an individual writes, just don't read their posts. A diverse collection of people with different opinions, knowledge and skills adds spice to site, IMO. YOUR posts certainly add to the diversity of opinions!
Given that you posted at 1:45 am on a Friday night, it’s likely that more than a few Yuenglings were involved when you went on your rant. I’m sure when you sleep it off, and have you morning cup of Joe, the world will be a much friendlier place. Straighten up and fly right Murphy!
