why do people have to be insulting on in this newsgroup. If a person has asked a question then it should be answered in a polite manner. If people don't have anything constructive to say then they should bloody well butt out.

I think it's because many people on this group think of LC as a religion, and they're offended by anyone who doesn't practice their exact beliefs. So they respond by attacking.
Then there's JC, who is just an unmitigated [censored]. -- "One time a cop pulled me over for running a stop sign. He said, 'Didn't you see the stop sign?' I said, 'Yeah, but I don't believe everything I read.'" - Steven Wright

"herby" is a spammer/scammer. For some reason they didn't on that one message, but their usual schtick is spam for a LA somethingorotherweightlossscam. Except for yesterday in here when they mistook a question about LA Weight Loss for their scam and started raving about LA Weight Loss. Google their email address.

Okay, but my point still stands, even though "herby" may have deserved it in this case. -- "Once when I was lost... I saw a policeman, and asked him to help me find my parents. I said to him ...

People tend to be *rude* when they can hide behind their keyboards. It’s a product of the Internet. Back in the day when we talked face to face, we were considerate of their feelings or we'd get our butts kicked :-) .. JMHO
To paraphrase Yoda, spam does not make one great. However, a surprising number of people prefer infamy to obscurity, and would rather be hated than unknown. Some of those people take up spamming as a way to gain the notoriety that their warped psyches crave. +---------------+ | PLEASE | | DO NOT | | FEED THE | | TROLLS | +---------------+ | | | | ..\\|...|//..

Perhaps for *guys* that's how it was. Kicking a guy so hard his 'nads turned into a goiter isn't ladylike. We had to be *ladylike* no matter what. Yuck.

I didn't mean that literally. There's nothing wrong with being nice either, or at least there *wasn't* anything wrong at one time.

Crawl back in the same attitude hole you share with that moron JC.
Between the 2 of you, you've managed to chase innumerable newbies from this ng.
I *doubt* anyone else shares the same attitude as JC.

Perhaps there's been a disconnect. I was under the impression we were talking about situations wherein it was all one way or another, as in "Back in the day everyone was polite, but with the advent of computers everyone's become rude." My experience when I was younger was that the boys could get away with being rude sometimes, while I as a girl wasn't allowed to be anything other than Miss Mary Sunshine because it was not "ladylike". The kicking reference is what I sometimes wanted to do while I smiled and acted ladylike.

And from that, you learned self-control, and how to show grace and class in difficult situations (I'm guessing?)...while the boys...well, boys will be boys right? <G>
With apologies to Winston Churchill, it's the few that tend to so greatly influence the many so easily on these NG's.... or was that Spock? If we'd all learn to not take the damn bait, and just shut up, the cowardly trolls would disappear.

Using an approach that takes glycemic load/index into account but that does not limit total carbs eaten, that does not count as a low carb approach.
Folks on this newsgroup point out when someone is deceiving themselves. Purely GL/GI approaces aren't low carb so trying to discuss them on a low carb newsgroup takes deceiving yourself. Trying to wedge rice, which is inherently high carb, into a low carb image also takes deceiving yourself.

Actually it's a product of UseNet. UseNet and the Internet are two different things. UseNet thrived long before it got connected to the Internet and vice versa.

In person true, that that misses the point of how the visible portions of personalities are morphed in UseNet posts.

Not all-or-nothing but the trend is there. Folks I have butted heads with on UseNet, I've ended up meeting in person and getting along fine in person.
UseNet has a culture of its own, and part of that culture is having UseNet-newbies lamenting the style of interaction. "Can't we all just be nice to one another" is a common newbie refrain on most newsgroups. It isn't specific to ALDLC, nor is it generalized to the entire Internet.

That's fine, but that can be done without brow-beating the person asking the question, which is quite often what happens here. -- "My girlfriend and I went on a picnic.

You can't control what people coming in this ng do...you're in the wild, wild west, so to speak. Deal with it.
