She does not bully, period.

She does express opinions, which is the point, right?

That's a tad racist.

But why?

You're telling me that the only form of interaction that lasts is one
fraught with spite and bullying?

Wow.

Cynical, but perhaps true...

Very few.

Tech and lifestyle choices are not static.

At some point Twitter will (mercifully) die off too.

Uselessnet exists because aging boomers remember its early days and are
generationally resistant to endless change.

It's like the guy with a closet full og 8 track tapes bemonaing CDs or
ignoring Pandora.

It's an anachronism on life support.

ONLY the bullying and Taliban-like sheltering of the "Groupkillas".

I very seriously doubt it.

The ones that don't care for me know I've called them out and held them
accountable. For that there will be no forgiveness.

That's' the reality of it.


> What you have been doing here lately is only damaging the group.

I did post on topic to begin with and was immediately attacked by
BBQ-ruining Bodine and his pet dwarf.

Be real about what happened here.

The difference is, I fought back!

That's it.

I've gone after only those who have malicious intent and practices.

I make ZERO apologies for that.

That's one of the most tepid defenses I have yet read.

You're actually supporting a bullying status quo as if it were the ONLY
way for RFC to thrive.

How sad.

How depressing.

How self-serving.

Why not grow a pair and toss the "Groupkillas" and Julie-bashers right
out of here.

They offer little or no other value anyway.
