I love the cries of innocence and the pointing of fingers at the bully, when  the bully are you and your colleagues.

Please read my post(s) again. You have this odd tendency to either completely ignore or selectively read what suits your reply.

To make it easier for you, I will help you out.

I admit that I will not turn the other cheek when some jackass is belligerent (and in turn becoming a jackass myself ZOMG),

Well, would you look at that.

And please stop. I have NEVER attacked a new user. Or crapped on someone's idea in the Features request forum. Only bullies tend to do that sort of thing...

I don't even know what that means. Did you mean boomerang? If you did, it still doesn't make sense.

I am insulted myself, by the behavior that has been displayed by the user you refer to DoubleDown. He enters into a fray about which he knows next to nothing and proceeds to just start slamming. No, I am not going to moderate my tone for users such as him. I am direct and don't mince words, that has stood my in good stead for 60 years, my friend. My father taught me to hold my ground unless i am proven wrong, that has not happened, and i will hold my ground. There are people who deserve absolute condemnation but that is not me, I have been set upon by a simple minded pack of wolves and ultimately that is my view of them.

According to you insult is fine but you have to take it. No, I don't have to take it and I will NOT take it, from ANYONE.

Then things around here will never improve. If someone insults you Skip then let that person know. Calmly.

There is no need to resort to like-minded insults - that is just sinking to the level of your attacker.

Instead simply state that the person is insulting and move on. Until you can do that this situation will never end.

You insult many people and many people insult you. Neither situation is likely to change until both sides agree that the playground mentality of 'you started it' gets put aside.

Lack of restraint, name calling, rude comments, self righteous indignation - how many ways and how long will the community keep on this path? The time and effort spent criticizing and attacking each other is pointless. 

Please stop.

I can't argue what you have said, Neill. I will say this and this is why you see me respond as i do. The target is usually me, even by you, have i seen you call any other user on his behavior, I am left to defend myself from the Snerts and their rugby scrums. I have played rugby, my friend, and i know that you know what happens in a scrum....it's not very pretty.       Ummm physical comes to mind...VERY. Sometimes I have even deliberately sat back and said OK, I am not going to respond to this jerk, whoever it may be...do I see anyone else calling him out for his comments...NO. But if I say something it is guaranteed that I will be, you don't see the inequality there Neill. So if you are comfortable enough to push me around, and i won't tell you not to, I think you know me better than that. At least be so kind as to not ignore others that need desperately to be pushed around.

BTW an aside for those that have taken offense to my use of the term Spotters. The reason for it is because you came to profiler in a flock and all started behaving in exactly the same unacceptable manner from Day One. So...there is a reason for the term, you don't like it, then show me that you do know how to behave, either individually or as a group.

Skip, you say I just came in and started slamming you, do you care to post evidence to this support this claim?  I have not once you called you a name or said anything inflammatory to you.  I have however commented on your well documented behavior, if you take offense to that then maybe you should look into a mirror.  I also take offense to the face that you attack me because of a low post count.  I have been a member here for a very long time and that doens't give me any less right to post here than you.

You do have a history of personal attacks, such as the one you just posted to me.  In fact in this thread I have not named you out and have stated on many occasions that the rules should apply to everyone not just you specifically.  But you illustrated my point my problem with your posting style, you resorted to my post with needless comments and attacks.

I do assume this thread will be locked and nothing more done more than a simple message and nothing more.  I do understand Kathy's sentiment about stopping this discussion and moving on.  But in the long run that won't do any good as it will just happen in another thread.  I wonder how many lurkers that are out there see this and decide not to participate because of the sour nature of the forums.  MY main reason for posting about it?  To maybe get the situation attention and get a system in place where no one, feels they are being bullied, mocked or attacked which includes yourself as well Skip.

Note to moderator:

Would you care to explain what you view as a personal attack, since this entire thread is nothing but an attack on one user and yet you do not remove any other posts.               Or are you displaying favoritism, as i have suspected. People are free to attack Skip at will and in any form they cjhoose, but if Skip defends himself or fights back......
