Kauai:<br>Although it would be very easy to do so, to my knowledge nobody in these forums has called you a 'putz', 'stupid', or suggested you 'put a bullet to your head'. Please extend the same courtesy that has been shown to you. Thanks.

Thank you Doug - I too responsed to him in another post for calling someone stupid. I wondered why the moderators haven't kicked him out yet.

Kauai:<p>And courtesy is the foundation of civilized society. Please do not attempt to cover THAT light.

kauai,<p>I'd appreciate it if you'd refrain from rude remarks and sweeping generalizations on threads where you obviously hadn't bothered to read the background.<p>You are entitled to your opinions, but learning to phrase those opinions in a less confrontational manner would probably be a good exercise for you. And if you've read the entry screen for the forum here, it states that you should have read the basic concept materials on this website. I haven't seen much evidence in your posts that would suggest that you have.<p>There are people here who seem to have the same questions and problems: and they are looking for help. Instead of getting annoyed by the repetitiveness of the situation, try using your "education" to suggest a different slant that may help them see the situation from a different perspective. Without being abusive, derogatory, or giving bad advice.

Kauai:<p>You said in one of your earlier posts that "respect is earned". Take a lesson from yourself.

Kauai:<br>This is a Forum Board for people "to" post grievances. These people ARE getting help - here, from one another. Ever hear of Friends helping Friends? Thats what we're doing here. Maybe you are on the wrong forum post?

Everyone,<p>I was on another forum where users like Kauai showed up, they were from a board called antisocial.com and purposely made ignorant remarks to hurt and insult (in the name of "freedom of speech") ...this was "fun" for them... the moderator there advised everyone to just ignore them. Some were eventually banned because of EXTREMELY unacceptable behavior due to the content of the forum. <p>As long as we feed his folly he'll continue, if we ignore him he'll go play somewhere else. We all know to whom he will eventually have to answer anyway. <p>[This message has been edited by mostlylurking (edited 03-01-99).]

Kauai;<P>I feel the great anger and pain you are going through. Hurting is not easy for any of us. There are many loving and wise people who read and post here. Reach out for their understanding. They will offer you a hand in help. <P>Please, please, please remember that there are also others out there who are going through what you are. Some of them are not as strong as you are. Would you deliberately cause another human to suffer, just to express your own suffering? I beg you to show compassion for your fellow man.
