Is there a terms of usage for this board? I've seen them on other boards. Generally something along the line of 'no profanity, be polite'
Personally, I get very upset when I post a reply to someone's problem and then get insulted by another poster, just because he doesn't agree with something I've said.
Disagreement is fine, insults are not. Most people here are very polite, very friendly, but there are 2 who come to mind whose posts I'd rather not read.

I made one post and left it at that as I had nothing new to say. Not everyone subscribes to this behaviour concept though.
Maybe we should introduce an {ahem} eBay style rating system so we can rate our peers and colleagues on their contribution to the site. Then again, maybe not

It is nothing compared to the 1 = .9999999 wars from some time ago.

Hadn't heard that one. Must have been before I joined the site.

If two kids were throwing water balloons, would that be a war?
Those are mild posts.

And it is starting again in a different thread (and no, I'm not getting involved).

Oh come on Lynn, we could get a 1000 post thread going
Actually it's kind of become fun to watch them go.

Cause I am tired of the personal attacks for the most part. It's gotten to the point it isn't worth debating with some people.

Steve, Combine to two threads on Bankers Round and you get close (depending on how you round :rolleyes
July 27, 2007 at 11:30 am
Lynn, I think you may be onto something. If ":rolleyes" would represent rounding, what icon would we use to express BR?

Nah... this one... One individual had a devil of a good time leading others on just for the sake of a good bar room brawl. I rather enjoyed watching how people reacted... learned more about people from those two posts... got a couple of interview questions out of them, as well. My favorite is "If you come across a group of Developers arguing about a method or a madness, how do you conduct yourself?" Another favorite might be "Do you know anything about banker's rounding? No? Great! Your hired!"
