Subject: Re: nice words?

Why did these same people not tell you that attempting to change the culture
on techdiver is a fruitless venture and has been tried over and over and
over by the "can't we all get along" types. And their attempts invariably
fail miserably, usually in a flaming pyre of abusive posts.

(As an aside, I will have to say that not one of these attempts to "Rodney
King-ize" techdiver have involved any monetary compensation, so let me be
the first to offer that if your delicate sensibilities are so offended by my
posts, then please send me $100 and I promise to never humiliate, degrade,
laugh at, or otherwise abuse you or any of your panty-wasted buddies again.
Hey, if it worked for Rodney...)

In the meantime why don't you sitdown and shutup or do a post which offers
real information or asks a legitimate question, you wussyboy.

And I'd like to offer my hat's off to those who have had the balls (or
ovaries) to come out and ask their questions, no matter how stupid or
moronic they might be, and then withstood the flames without going home
whimpering to mama, (like that pole-smoking butt-pirate "Dr. Black" moron).
You people are true divers and will go deep.
