You know - I am not really sure - I thought it was to share our experiences and ipinions on ebook readers, but half the time it seems like some elitest jerk who does not agree with your opinion responds by flaming you for your opinion. I guss that is jsut the nature of blogs and boards but I find it strange that people feel that behavior like this is acceptable simply because they are hidden behind an elctronic veil.

I am thinking about droping off the site - I feel like I am wasting my time with people who could give a crap less for anything but their own opinion.

I know there are some very good people on this site but I am feeling burnt out after typing a page review on an ebook reader and being attacked personally rather than rebutted based on a technical or differeing viewpoint of some type

My dues were paid long ago.
Knowledge is mine by right.

I can only tell you what I was told. It wasn't much, to tell the truth - and who can decide when dues are paid?

I can.
My dues are paid in full. The scars remain as proof of payment.

Tell me what you are willing to share.
I only exist to know.

Could it be because you're invisible?

Does this means what I think it means or it means something that you do not mean and that I think it means what I think it means?

It's one of the few downers on the site, many of us do agree - are you going to let them win by running away ?

I'm only a newbie, but I really like this forum. Most posters are articulate and rational, and there's a lot of intelligent debate. I like the way it's moderated.

Coming from the vitriolic shambles which the Authonomy forum has become, I appreciate it.

What an important point. I agree with Geoff 100%.
Personally I went through 3 phases.
1. I was more or less in the frame of mind of david
2. I protected my self putting 5 members on my invisible list.
3. I was recently taught a much more powerful defense consisting in not having anybody on the invisible list and just studying the behavior of this people. Interesting

Hold on david

The site is a microcosm of humanity (down dogs, cats, squid and penguins) - It is often enlightening to be amongst an International spread of members and watch how we all interact, or rub against each other.

I come to ask questions at the moment. As somebody with over ten years in IT and an interest in computing, programming etc I am usually the one giving advice. But here I am a really n00b; most of the techniques and tools have not crossed my path before. I would help if I could; maybe later.

Don't let the jerks get you down.

Here's a little song I wrote. When the flamers knock on you doorstep, count to ten, ignore them, and give it a listen!
