CompuServe Messages

I've been reading this thread and keeping quiet in hopes that all (tempers) would calm. I think it is now time to add my $0.02. Throughout this thread, the only "flowery" comments about C= and/or the Amiga have been in accusatory statements made by you. Some people in this AmigaUser forum have obviously been very careful in chosing their words when composing replies to you, however, in each case you have found some way to be offended and reply with increasing fervor to each case. All Amiga users are welcome to express their opinions and their experiences here in this forum. Freedom of speech is practiced here as far as I can tell…until it imposes on other persons' rights (read: becomes offensive to, or is composed so as to give the appearance of an attack on, other members). Your last couple of messages certainly seem to border on this condition. Some of us are thankful for the help we get by reading about others' experiences but do not appreciate having to wade through redundant online b*tch sessions. As for the hard drive installation problem…some of us can appreciate the difficulties you experienced and empathize with you…and I have seen noone but you allude to it being "some of kind of great, new sophisticted feature"…. I see no reason for you to snap at any of the SYSOPs here…they are very patient in their administration of the fora and corresponding with members. In fact, on more than one occasion, they have even been helpful to a member or two or three…. Could we all get out of attack mode now and get back to our regularly scheduled programming (stepping down from atop soapbox)?
