Um, Kevin?

Of the 62 posts in this thread, the original poster made 6 posts,
while you have made over twice as many (13). In comparing those posts
I think it fair to say that any impartial observer would find yours to
be far more agressive, negative and some (including a number of the
A.F.B. regualars who have responded, offensive.

In your messages to both to the original poster and to those who you
disagree with you repeatedly make assumptions about their INTENT
(which you say you don't care about) and use these assumptions to
bolster your arguments against them:
For example:

KEVIN: "You think that your message is so important that you can
ignore prohibitions against spamming, including those in your ISP's
Acceptable Use Policy"

Do you really think that the original poster was both aware of and
intentionally disregarding their ISPs Acceptable Use Policy?


You often resort to name calling ("self-important bozos", "racist",
"ignorant racist" "WebTVe", "You are a sad, pathetic, creepy little
man.", etc.), yet chastise other when they resort to the same.

It also seems that as threads you are involved in get longer, your
statements in them become more pedantic - you start focusing on a
minot point ( that someone did not answer one of your questions)
rather than the overarching point of the thread.

If the whole intent of your posts with this recurring theme (pointing
out to people that they are spammers) is to educate people to the
error of their ways, as indicated in your eigth post in this
particular thread:

"It really is simple: You're spamming. "

...then I have just one question for you.:

Couldn't you find a more constructive way to do it?

You have repeatedly chastised those who take you to task for your
approach and have repeatedly been hypocritical in doing so. You have
ridiculed those you consider "ignorant" rather than attempt to
constructively educate them.

Finally, based on the years of such threads, is seems clear to me that
ultimately, you simply don't care to engage with others in a
reasonable, respectful manner, especially if they have said or
implied something that you disagree with, or if you deem them somehow
'less' than you (ignorant, racist, etc.).

To me, that seems like a truer form of ignorance than unintentionally
breaking one's ISP Acceptable use policy while trying to help people
