Then you shouldn't have any complaints about some one quoting them. I'll
keep that for future reference. "Deep" wrote in message e.rogers.com... I wrote them, didn't I? Do you actually think I'm ashamed or care what an old woman thinks of me? PLEASE.... Deep "Irene" wrote in message ... I haven't attacked you. I don't attack people. I do, however, accurately quote their posts. Here, I thought you would like your friends to see a few examples of your posts to this and other groups. You mean that you are not proud enough of your posts to see them quoted? "Deep" wrote in message le.rogers.com... So your logic is that those who use the language you find so offensive should be attacked? Come on grandma! Attack away!! Deep "Irene" wrote in message ... You still have explained why you criticize me for quoting such language, but say absolutely nothing to those who originated the posts. No withstanding you denials, the reason that I came up with is the most likely. Sorry. I have to stick with that until you demonstrate differently. "Bob" wrote in message ... Frankly, I don't care if folks are pro or anti Compaq, Dell, HP, Sony, etc. To each, his own. I am not that strongly attached to any type of machine to be that passionate one way or another. Personally, I have had nothing but good experiences with the computers I (or my family have had) over the years. Problems have been rare and the few calls made to sales, tech support or customer service have been handled in a professional and timely manner. I have owned computers of some sort since 1978 (Apple, Packard Bell. HP, Compaq, Dell, Alienware). I guess I have just been lucky for the past 25 years. It would be great if newsgroups of this type were used solely for the purpose of information and help, however, I understand that folks want to vent about their bad experiences and that's their right. It is also the right of those to defend their positions on the positive side.It just interests me that you have complained about Deep's vulgarities and yet you have reposted these vulgarities in at least 3 separate posts. I suppose I "pick on" your posts because I usually find yours in the middle of some "entertaining" back and forths. I would classify Newsgroups as a source of two things, information and entertainment. If I am not interested in a particular topic as described in the header, then I would not necessarily read through the posts, however, if I see a bunch of responses with certain sender's names, I will read those because occasionally, they are real entertaining. Deeps' (or others) vulgarities were probably in response to some humdrum question in a topic that is of little interest, thus I can not remember seeing any of them except when reposted by you. It would be great if all folks would use language that you or I or anyone would deem "appropriate", but in certain locales it just isn't going to happen. With the wide variety of unknown personalities on newsgroups, you can't expect them to acquiesce to what you want, thus you should assume that, at the very least, newsgroups should be rated 'R'. With that being the case, you or your grandchildren, shouldn't be surprised if vulgarities show up. I have an 8 year old granddaughter. I would never allow her to use the Internet unsupervised because you never know what can be accidentally found and if I were using the Internet with her, I would certainly not be reading newsgroups with her, but, to each his/her own. At least I am fortunate that she is not nearly as Internet savvy as yours because she doesn't even know what a newsgroup is, much less have the ability to open one up and either download new messages or read existing messages. "Irene" wrote in message ... I find it difficult to understand why you object to my posts, quoting the vulgarities and insults, but do not post any comments objecting to the originators of those posts. Could it be because you and those few folks are strongly pro Compaq and I am not? No, you wouldn't be that hypocritical, would you? "Bob" wrote in message ... I know how newsreaders work and I know that you find vulgarities offensive, yet you don't seem to respect others who may find the language offensive because you choose to repost it without editing the vulgarities. I can only assume from your previous post a while ago that you grandchildren use your computer unsupervised since I would suspect you would not allow them to read newsgroups that contain vulgarities, yet somehow (according to you), they managed to do so. Practice what you preach. Since you find the language offensive, don't continue to repost it. Others find it offensive as well. "Irene" wrote in message ... And you don't know what you are talking about. Neither what I allow, or how my newsreader works. "Bob" wrote in message ... Remember Irene, you allow your grandchildren to peruse these newsgroups unsupervised as you stated in a previous post. You are again subjecting them to foul languange that YOU choose to repost. "Irene" wrote in message ... |
