Yes, I think that there are several people who scare existing users and potential users off by their language and behavior. We've all seen it, we all know who some of them are. The problem is the few people ruining it for the rest of us. Is that what happened to desktoppublishing.com? Were there a few people who basically drove people away from the site? I think that there is a real danger of that happening here. As someone else said, I have to check and see who's posting before I read it for fear of setting off someones content filter. It is just getting too difficult to find real questions with real, pertinent responses.
I had asked earlier if this was the way you would behave in person and someone said "Depends on how much I drank". That's the kind of behavior I'm talking about. For crying out loud, take some responsibility for your actions. Don't say "the booze made me do it", or "People don't understand me, no one likes me". Well you know why no one likes you? Because you are poorly behaved. Don't use it as a crutch, it's getting too old and we're all too old to be reminded of this. I am still a bit surprised that there even need to be moderators here. I would have thought that adults could self monitor.
I personally am getting fed up with all of this. It's too tiresome to weed through the deluge of fluff. It's too tiresome dealing with the same junk day in and day out trying to be useful and help someone. This is the second time I've seriously considered stopping my participation and going back to Printplanet and Enfocus User Group exclusively. My patience is worn thin on this one. I'm too old for this and have too many other things to do to deal with all this crud.
