I also limit my contribution, although not from concern about my opinions being ridiculed, rather that I find repeated attempts to try to correct the same misrepresentations as tedious to write as I imagine they are to read. After a while, I figure anyone who actually cares to understand does and the others will continue to misrepresent regardless of what I might say.

I feel sorry for the moderators who have to try to police something that really shouldn't need policing. I have moderated many lists, newsgroups, and forums since the early days of FIDO and BBSs. This list has some of the worst cases of skirting the rules while ridiculing other participants I have ever seen.

Back to lurking.
