s.com... Peter, you're usually level headed, but good grief guy !! How can you defend that?? Why in the world should anyone be moved to hatred because of someone's refusal to believe all the answers? I mean, even a kid would know that's wrong. It's sure as heck not Eagle Scout behavior. You might spurn him, not answer him, or continue to try to reach him, but to spew hatred? [...] You are overreacting, and frankly you are inferring way more from my post than you have any right to. I used the phrase "to hatred" because that is in fact the phrase that was used in the post to which I replied. Nowhere in my post did I say such a response was justified, but inasmuch as anyone here *is* aroused to hatred, it IS because of the way the guy responds to the answers, and it is NOT because the people so moved feel guilty about not knowing the answers themselves. My post was in response to Michael's claim that the only reason Mxsmanic gets a negative response is the nature of the questions. That is patently false -- the response is largely *directly* due to the behavior of Mxsmanic himself -- and that's what I said. Any other message you get from my post, that's your own doing and has nothing to do with what I think or feel. Pete |

You are overreacting, and frankly you are inferring way more from my post than you have any right to. You are correct. I see now why you replied as you did. I was misled because, while the response explained what part of the postings moved people "to hatred", there was no associated condemnation of that kind of response. That lack appeared, at first glance, as approval. Regards, Kev |

There has been generally nothing wrong with the initial questions. The problem occurs when he refuses to believe the answers. That was my take on this situation as well. Those who are defending the character obviously missed the many examples of his posts where this occurred. -- Peter |

You are so far off base here, it's not even funny. People who don't know what they are talking about become emotional and defensive when the answers they give are questioned. People who know what they are talking about are undisturbed ... because they know that they know. So when someone becomes upset simply because his answer isn't accepted unconditionally, there's an extremely good chance that he really doesn't have a clue, and is stressed by the potential exposure of that fact. I know people who are experts in their fields. If you ask a question, they answer it. If you question the answer, they explain why the answer is right. Since they are experts, they can explain as much as necessary to convince anyone. They don't get emotional or angry, because they have nothing to hide, and they know exactly what they are talking about. If anything, experts are more hesitant to answer than non-experts, because experts know how many variables are involved. For example, doctors typically qualify their answers to questions much more than nurses, because doctors realize how many factors are involved in giving a correct answer, whereas nurses often do not. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

Why do you keep asking question? |

I 'try' to refuse to be dragged into arguments when the quality goes downhill. I am not always good at it, but when words get put in my mouth and he claims I am getting personal, that level of behaviour ends it. He is on his own. Troll, curiosity or immature, I can't really say, and it doesn't matter. |
