Slithering-migration

And I'd rather be a supposed 'whiner' than a bully. The clique of people on this forum who mock and denigrate others and engage in cyber bullying is just appalling. I got tired of constantly reading it so I called out Joe Collector on it and then the same clique of people rush to defend him. So add Boboset & Oakman29 to the list too apparently which adds to the 'Helpful Guide' for newcomers.

Called 'Pot calling the Kettle Black' demonstrated by your defensive response with a good dose of hyperbole. And if you'd bothered to read the thread I wasn't the person attacked, so nice try. I read the thread before I posted what I did. You just whined a lot. JC had it right the first time. Your post history contains the following: Grade my books for me, I want to buy your books but I'm not going to respond to you, and whining. The trifecta of uselessness. First ad hominems then misrepresentation, followed by more hyperbole. 1. Is anyone forcing you to grade books for them? 2. How do you know that I didn't respond, unless you're working for the NSA & you're hacking into my email account? You're the very definition of 'whining' as you can't stand it when posters don't worship you & stroke your ego and then you feel threatened by them & in turn defend those that respond with ad hominems. And you're definitely feeling threatened given your need to go and check my posting history. As for whining, while I acknowledge that this thread began with some highly useful suggestions, some of it has been hijacked by those 'whining' about so-called 'noobs'. As I said above: That really gave me a good laugh! Total hypocrisy demonstrated by your very own defensive response with a good dose of hyperbole i.e. one thread=numerous. And if you'd bothered to read the thread I wasn't the person attacked, so nice try. Judging by the other obsequious responders that also feel threatened, I'm guessing there may be quite a few on this board that aren't in for respectful discussions by those that don't worship their post totals or take their 'opinions' as gospel. On that note a quick question, do you hand out merit badges every time someone reaches 1000 posts or more? Hey but thanks guys it's the biggest laugh I've had this weekend as it reminds me so much of primary school:)

How about attempting to refrain from ad hominem attacks & showing respect for fellow posters when engaging in discussions? And a helpful hint maybe that just because one doesn't have 1000's of posts may not necessarily exclude them from being an 'expert' and certainly doesn't exclude them from having an 'opinion'.
