Its one thing to have a difference of an opinion and express strong feelings about a topic. That happens...we have all done that at one time or another.
But to me, it is destructive of the atmosphere here for a person to come to ET with an agenda to disrupt, suck for negative attention, to attack others personally (especially when one tries to set limits on weird behavior), and who generally has an anti-authoritarain agenda. That is trollish behavior.
And further, while definitely people have the right to their opinions and such, I feel strongly that it is destructive to the friendly, supportive, and inquiring atmosphere we have tried to build here are at ET for people to support a person who continully throws tantrums, sucks for negative attention, and then gets nasty when confronted about it. What's the point?
Obviously there are a lot of strong personalities here, and it is what makes this an intersting place to be. But, while I have no personal grudge or problem with mmmm, it really pisses me off that this crap keeps happening with her...and she pulls for it...so why do some people keep supporting this? Sometimes I wonder if person like m is just provide a sock puppet for people to act out their own anti-authoritarian or hostility stuff. And maybe I'm off...but again, what's the point? Please, lets keep it positive..its much more interesting. "Once in awhile we get shown the light, in the strangest of places, if we look at it right" - Hunter/Garcia
My guess, (and it is just a guess) is that the point is to be friendly, supportive and inquiring. We all have different perceptions of situations and persons. We also have individual limits on what behaviour falls under plainly disruptive.
Now I missed the astrology diary (not a great interest of mine), and don't care to inform me of what went down there, so these are just some general observations. A vote for PES is a vote for EPP! A vote for EPP is a vote for PES! Support the coalition, vote EPP-PES in 2009!
