atw: Re: OT: Hostility

And what do you call it when the poster then rings your place of employment
to try and have you sacked? 

Friendly?

I suppose you must have missed the post where he made it quite clear his
only intention was to bait a single person - myself. I suppose you think the
constant public snipes from this cyberbully are not worth the trouble, but
then again, he isn't targetting you is he? How would you feel then Craig?

Steve, some of your comments are among the most hostile. So they're a major
contribution to the phenomenon you're complaining about. (Readers don't tend
to differentiate one person's hostility from another's.)

And I know, most complaints (like Bruce's) about off-topic postings are
themselves off-topic. But it can be hard to meekly just press Delete when
chatter on the list sometimes comes thick and fast. (The best way I know of
to appeal against chatter is to do so very briefly in an otherwise useful,
on-topic posting.)

I think Bruce has over-reacted to posts of mine in the past, but "going off"
in a public forum doesn't improve the situation.

Yours in peace :->
Craig
