Oh, and saying that fint " Always pivots to being the victim" is absurd. |

Wonderful to see Rwebb, who made big mistakes, be treated in death so beautifully by the OT. Hope that happens to me someday. He was a classic, if even that, always being the first to attack other PARFer's. He made plenty of mistakes, but anyway, may he rest in peace.

It's not the post count that's the problem, it's the signal to noise ratio. Some members post prolifically and enhance the quality of the board. Others dominate threads and crowd out interesting discussions. More than a few do some of each.
I've thought about this a bit since we received news of Randy's passing. I never had a problem, or even a cross word with him, and I was always puzzled by some of the more unpleasant exchanges that surrounded him. I think that PPOT is like a Rorschach test. Many have been on this board for years, so we've gotten to know each other a bit. With that level of familiarity, some posters have developed a way of reading particular people's posts a certain way. For some reason, when a lot of people saw Randy's posts they had a visceral reaction to the author and saw dragons instead of butterflies and the fur started to fly. I suspect that if someone else had written some of his posts they wouldn't have drawn some of the ire that he reveled in. |

PS RIP Webb, Thor, etc. I'll flame you in the afterlife when I get there. EDIT: Save me a spot at the great poker table- hopefully next to ol' scratch himself. ;) rjp |

As far as dominating discussions...someone else posting (often or rarely) does not prevent your offering your own opinion/posting. There is not a fixed number of posts allowed...there is room for everyone to post their ideas/opinions...and "sell" them as they like. Whether or not they are deemed valid or embraced has more due to the validity of the argument than anything else. That determines which ideas dominate a discussion. Campaigning to silence the ideas/opinions of those that disagree does not seem a real solution (as eventually someone will decide to silence you). Our founding fathers were very prescient regarding freedom of speech/expression. |
......at least I don't whine like a 10 year old girl with a skinned knee about PARF..
