Just some thoughts directed at no one in particular:Sometimes I think people forget that there is another living, breathing person that reads/responds to these posts. Too often, we are responding to words on our computer screen, rather than the people that have written them.
Might I suggest that people write their posts in such a manner that they were in the same room with that person discussing the given subject at a social gathering?
I have recently been having to wade through similar types of posts on a photography forum. Same crap, completely different subject. You'd be amazed at the similarities: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=426523
This isn't about useful cable discussions any more- it's about personality conflicts, competition, and getting attention, IMHO.
These personal disputes should be handled via private e-mail like gentlemen so the substantive discussions may take place.
BTW, I say all this with my "asylum member" hat on, not as a member of the Bored.
