Try the latest thread on points. Then there's the discussions of optimised clients. There's the MOT thread in the Teams forum from back in January and March of this year. There's the edited post where, in response to mention about a cruncher facing a possible amputation, a poster added their hope that their leg fall off (quite tasteless no matter how you try to look at it). Those I don't even need to look at the forums for. Frankly, I'd prefer not to look for more at the moment as I'm trying to keep my bile down.

LOL

Keith my greek mythology isn't up to standard being a technical type so thank heavens for Google

That's a cracker. I know that feeling well.

I became Samuel Clemens for a while (I thought that was a clever aka )

Kobayashi Maru yes Google rescues me again. Live long and prosper Keith

Movieman that's as much info as I can give out any more and it would be big stick time

I don't know if I really have a solution. Plenty have crossed my mind lately. IBM tells us it's best to just ignore such posts. Well, if it was the rare occasion that such posts occurred, I could accept that. That is most definitely not the case. It's a problem and one that is not well-controlled or managed. I am of the view that we need a zero-tolerance approach, at least until folks learn to behave. Yes, if you ban someone from the forums, there's nothing to stop them from switching to another username. SO FRIGGIN WHAT! That's the same logic that says criminals can go scott free if they can get out of your jurisdiction before you can catch them. Sorry, this whole mess has me peeved but I think folks can understand where I'm coming from. Whatever is done, I would prefer that it not require any more time on the admins part. Their priorities should be on boarding new projects and managing the current ones. It's not like they sit around twidling their thumbs for lack of work. This problem is one that should not even exist. To the extent we as a community cannot behave and police ourselves, that directly harms both the community and WCG.

Sigh.....when you look at ancient times and discuss the barbarity that existed then, it was pretty much straight-forward. Evil was evil and it didn't particularly care about disguising itself. I recall one of the Star Trek movies/episodes where they referred to our present time as barbaric. I didn't like that so much then. Truth is now, I realize they really weren't so wrong. Today we just tend to mask it in some fasod. I've thought that maybe I should just switch to some other DC project out there. There's plenty. But would it really be that different on another project? More so, why shouldI leave because of the actions of a few individuals? How hard is it to simply say that you disagree with someone instead of calling them a blazing idiot? I don't like the fact that such posts remain in the forums or at least that there's no clear, undeniable response that such actions/behavior are/is found objectionable to the rest of us. Sorry folks, I'm funked by this. Time to walk away - for the night that is. I'm awaiting anyone's further ideas/suggestions in the meantime. It's time to draw the line in the sand folks and say enough is enough. How do we do that?
