I don't want the person posting to me about anything. I don't seek out him
or any one else for that matter in these NG(s).

I mind my own business and post to the OP. And what this particular person
has to say doesn't mean anything to me.

I am not looking to be anyone's buddy buddy, post pal or anything else. The
person needs to mind his own business and stay out of face, which I don't
think he can do.
 
Jon Skeet is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. His contributions in the
particular thread offer very good insight into issues directly related to
the OP and subsequent posts in this thread.

He was not attacking you personally. He was offering perspective that you
were missing. You could learn from him if you would only listen.

and

This is a PUBLIC forum. What you post here automatically, and even by
defintion, becomes or is everybody's business. If you have a problem with
that, then don't post here.

Mission accomplished.

So be it and just stay out of my face, because I don't want to be bothered
with it.
 
(groan) Do we really have to go through this again? And from the same
contributor?

"Mr. Arnold": get over yourself; this is far from the first time
you've dragged a
perfectly sensible disussion into pointless comments like
"stay out of my face". Your (original) comments were perfectly
good and helpful; why ruin it just because somebody adds
some more context to the overall picture? It isn't a personal attack
when
people are simply adding additional information. And if those seem at
odds
to your view, then discuss it; the toys can remain in the pram.

I know several management type people who are convinced they need to hire C#
people only because they have the perception VB is something tought to kids
in grade school. They remember VB 6 and think VB .Net is just the next
version of that tool. Usually it seems these managers seem to somehow think
C# is the next version of C++, which their computer techie friends were
studying in college. This means (to them) it is for real work...

I'll discuss anything with the OP if the OP shows respect. If the OP get's
out of line, then that's another story.

I am not out here in these NG(s) to be in discussions or debates with
someone, and I just don't want to be bothered with it. The sooner it's
realized that Mr. Arnold is not one to take to a debate or discussion, then
the better things will be overall.

That's the way I am, since I have been out on the Internet starting in
2001. I am not changing for anyone out here on the Internet.

I post for the benefit of the group as a whole, not one particular
person. Therefore if I believe your point of view is incorrect, I'll
make a post explaining why - for the benefit of *everyone*.

You can feel free not to reply, or (as appears to be your wont) to just
post a rude reply which doesn't address the logic of my post - but I
won't leave inaccurate posts uncorrected just because you don't want to
engage in civilised discussion.
 
RE:
<< I am not out here in these NG(s) to be in discussions or debates with

Discussion and debate is one of the big benefits of these NGs - if not an
intended usage of the groups. Yes, they get a bit heated at times - but
that's okay as long as the debate and discussion remains focused squarely on
the technical issues (rather than becoming personal).

RE:
<< I just don't want to be bothered with it >>
Then you're going to be bothered a lot then because we're frequently
debating and discussing, and that's not going to stop any time soon.

I don't want to be bothered by you. I don't go around reading your posts,
under any circumstances.

So, you might as well go on about your business, as you don't mean anything
to me.

Somehow, you have gotten into your head that you're some kind of Internet
Cop, with a ticket book in your hand.
 
I am going to say one other thing here, and then I am going on about my
business.

You are one of these people out here on the Internet that post just a little
too much, you're out here just a little too much, you got too much of an
opinion just a little too much, and it seems that you don't have too much of
a life without the Internet, because you're out here just a little too much.

You need to get a life, other than, being out here on the Internet, just a
little too much.

No, you're not. You can't help yourself.

Actually, you only think that because you keep posting things that aren't
correct, which requires _someone_ to post a follow up explaining to others
who may come across the thread (either now or later) what's incorrect
about what you posted, AND on top of that you cannot handle any suggestion
whatsoever that what you posted is incorrect.

Note: it is not so much the fact that you post something that's incorrect,
but rather that last part -- that you cannot tolerate any suggestion that
what you posted is incorrect -- that is the issue here.

There's not a single person here who never makes a mistake. There are,
however, some people who cannot accept that they sometimes make mistakes.
And then among those people, there are some people who upon being pushed
into a corner where it's obvious they've made a mistake, abandon the
actual discussion and turn it into personal insults rather than admitting
their mistake.

You are this newsgroup's most visible example of that last group of people.

I am just going to killfile you as you are someone I don't want to see
anymore. It's as simple as that.
 
You're nothing but someone's lapdog. And I don't hold conversations with
NG lapdogs. So I am getting to kill you in this one too. Let's see of
you shape shift out of the killfiles.

It's not my cup of tea and you see the reasons why, because there are
lunatics running loose out here on the Internet, too many of them.

So, I just as soon will avoid the situation all together. I post to the OP
and that's it. I have no need to be any discussions or debates with anyone
out here on the Internet.

And what I am going to do from this point forward in this particular NG is
killfile Jon Skeet, because he is nothing but trouble and also killfile
anyone like him.
 
RE:
<< there are lunatics running loose out here on the Internet, too many of
them>>

I disagree. I think the number of lunatics running loose on the Internet is
just right: It's kind of like Goldilocks and the Three Bears... not too
many... not too few.... but just the right number [of lunatics].

Crazy people! They're everywhere! We've even got one here in this
newsgroup! I wonder who that might be.

Then why do you reply to posts other than from the OP? Your actions belie
your claims.

Yeah, Jon Skeet. He's a real trouble-maker. Always rocking the boat,
shaking things up. You never know when he's gonna drop one of those
infamous Skeet-bombs and blow the newsgroup apart again.

Right.

The thing I can't figure out is...if you'd actually kill-filed all the
people you keep claiming you're going to kill-file, we wouldn't have this
problem. You'd never see the posts when people point out your mistakes,
and you'd never find yourself fighting an unwinnable fight, trying to
defend statements that are factually untrue.

Here's a suggestion: use a newsreader that actually supports kill-files,
and _use_ the kill-file when you say you're going to.

That way, we can go ahead and post messages to correct the mistakes in
your own, without you getting all hot and bothered about having been wrong.

You know the old saying. Opinions are a dime a dozen and everyone has got
one.

It is what it is, and what it is in this NG has been two lunatics that have
been on my a** in this NG from day one, and I am tired of looking at them.
So I am going to take care of this situation and not see them anymore.
 
I like tomato soup.
