Let's move on

Personally, I've reached the point where for me, the crap on Usenet
simply isn't worth my time. I come and go with little expectation of
a positive result. If I happen to get a positive result, I simply
consider that a good day and I'll converse with respectful Usenet
posters. If I don't find that, I'll tell people to go **** themselves
in a heartbeat! On the moderated forums, I know going in that I'll
never have to resort to telling anyone to go **** themselves, and for
me, that's important. You see, I don't particularly like telling
people to go **** themselves.

Agreed

What we really need is a small group of reasonable people to act as
moderators, here, on usenet. All we need to do is keep out the
riff-raff, and the worst of the disrespect.

It is all about respect, and that is a sign of the times.

As I contemplate going back to having students at school next week, I
have come to dread it, and there too, it is all about respect, and the
lack of it.

Lack of respect for others, their property, and even for themselves.

If I was allowed he whack their little backsides when they needed it,
90% of the problem would disappear.

It's a pity that we can't pound a little respect into this generation
when they need it. But no, that isn't civilized, or some such crap.

Anyway, I've wandered.

Anyone want to be a moderator?


I will!

You're out, for one.
