RE: Civility on the Iomega thread?

Jock,

The response that you received here was probably less gracious than you deserved. If I was inappropriate in my response, I apologize. Not to make excuses, but we're continually bombarded with negative comments from skeptics who almost never bring any facts to support their opinions. Many of us have become jaded to their comments.

I would certainly welcome any factual rebuttal or support of your comments, and I think you'll find that a number of the bulls here are also open to "the other side of the story".

I look forward to your response.

Jock, You said-

<<>>

This was after your initial post started out with something like----

You people are amazing. Blah blah blah

You know, I think you are right, your initial post did generate hostile replies. Do you understand why?

If this WAS your first message, I'm sure the hostile replies you got wouldn't be repeated. However, for a first timer, your post wasn't exactly a friendly hello, either.

Is it any wonder why you generated hostile replies, if not the sheer volume of them?
