He probably ran out of his meds. Apparently Kerry with a single insult
pushed him beyond his low-tolerance threshold and he hasn't recovered yet so
he needs to bitch to the rest of us that someone called him a troll. Ooooh.

I've "known" George as a poster in other microsoft.public newsgroups for
several years, and while we do not always agree and George can be just as
enthusiastic about expressing that as I can be myself, I wouldn't have said
George was any kind of troll.

I'm always surprised at "professionals" who STILL have to be asked "Have you
checked (event viewer / syslog)".

I'm not sure as George's post doesn't say what ticked him off but I'm
assuming it was me calling him a troll. George is known to have a problem
with the MS KB articles and sometimes posts to the XP groups about perceived
problems that in reality don't exist. I am not the first person to call him
a troll. I did answer his questions in case I was wrong. Not all or even not
most of his posts are what I would call trolling.

Vanguard I was hoping some here knew the meaning of civility. If it was a
rare thing here to see the amount of insults posted here by ostensible
adults I would not have reacted the way I did. But come on this place is
sometimes worse than Romper Room. Is that enjoyable is the lack of close
human contact what influences people to act like children here? Maybe you
think I did maybe I did I don't care the fact remains maybe we are all
guilty of this behavior.

Kerry it wasn't what you called me it was that you perceived the necessity
to do it at all. Don't you understand that? Ok Ok you thought I was
trolling because I asked you to provide links about something I wanted to
find more about. What I provide about KB articles 9 times out of 10 I
receive an e-mail from Microsoft themselves thanking me for ways to make
their articles better. Of course you don't know that because it really is
not important but what I am telling you is true but again you probably think
I am trying to "trick" you.

I did answer your post with the link you requested. I felt you were
stringing me along as I've seen you do before to myself and others. Some of
the threads you get involved in end up with you quoting what you perceive as
mistakes in KB articles. I usually disagree with your interpetation. We have
argued about this in the past. I felt the thread in question had run it's
course and was starting to drift off topic so I was not going to post to it
any more. I posted the link you requested, stated that I was done with the
thread and why. I expected your next post to be about a KB article. It
appears I was wrong. In retrospect I should have left out the part about
trolling and just left the thread.

Asking for civility by writing "Take your preconcieved
notions of the purposes behind people's posts and
SHOVE IT!" will never work, same as shouting at
someone to get him to stop shouting won't work.
If you feel that respondents have poor manners then
raising the discussion standard is far more effective than
lowering yourself to their level.
Since your outburst is detached from the thread you
consider offensive, most of us don't even know if
there was anything offensive about it.

No, but plugging your ears and singing "La la la la la la..." will help
you not hear them shouting.
Exactly. Well put Pegasus.
