I am just completely fed up with the hate filled rhetoric that keeps coming from John.
If I were an advertiser on this site, I would not want my ads to appear anywhere near his posts.
I actually agree with 75% of what he writes. It's just the name calling that totally degrades his opinions. And I think it lowers the standards of the whole site.
I just wish that Charles or you would set some rules about how discussions happen here. Not just in the stock threads but all threads. He has drawn me into his type of conversation too many times and I've even on occasion used the same type of language that John uses. I always feel bad about it afterward.
I think he has chased away many good posters who just refuse to post in the stock thread because he will attack them for ideas that he doesn't agree with. Most people will only put up with being called a dumbass so many times and then they just don't ever post again. And that's a loss, a huge loss to the entire community.
And you must be asking...why even get involved Chuck? I get involved here for the same reason that I get involved everywhere I go and in everything that I do. When I see injustice, I try and fix it. I know, I know, it's sometimes stupid, but that's how I operate.
Once again, I aplogize for being overly aggessive in my defense of Havakasha.
Chuck
