What a strange NG!

[Nobby]

I have just logged on to this NG and it is full of hate and venom. Is this
usual for people who want free stuff or have I stumbled into a twilight
zone?

Yes.

(Btw, have you ever seen a group of Euro socialists, use to having
their needs taken care of by government, ever smile?)

Y'get what you're looking for I guess, I only view this part time, but I
seem to stumble away with what I need...mostly.

tis a sad group to be sure

 

[Nobby]

Chill out folks. Anger gives you ulcers and frown lines.

The fact that there are more venomous groups is not an excuse. I could live
in a more violent city but I don't want to.

I guess I'm just a thick-skinned old bastard - they'll have to pry this NG
out of my cold, dead hands.

Hate and venom? I call it "spirited discussion" <g>.

Then how about taking a hike to somewhere you feel better?

That would have the added advantage of taking your stoopid audacity out of
our faces.

Its not for me to excuse...perhaps you should ask the ones who offend you...

Take a few deep breaths and relax. If that doesn't work try group therapy
or valium.

Why do they call you "Nobby"?

 

[Nobby]

I love spirited discussion and sometimes even a good old rant but insults
and swearing is the last resort of idiots.

A little bit of respect would be fine.

 

[Nobby]

If you have problems spelling, use a dictionary. Stupid, not stoopid.

What colour is your trailer?

I'm not looking for excuses from anyone. I was simply commenting on the
angry tone of this NG.

Mmm ok...while we are commenting , may I make one?.Its usually best to use a
munged email address (i presume you are using your real one?) rather than
your real one on a public newsgroup.Not everone agrees with this..but as you
say , some newsgroups are full of hate and venom.

Excuse me. If this is a name you have given to yourself, then why did you
choose to be called "Nobby"? Is this a reference to an ambition, quality,
ability, appearance, talent, etc.?

 

[Nobby]

It is only a nickname often used in the UK. No reason at all.
