Yes it is :)

I've edited the quote slightly because I don't know who leads this
group. Sometimes the most vocal person is not the leader.

If people don't want to read dorayme's posts then why don't they just
kill file him?

I hardly ever read dorayme's posts, but those that I do read seem
pretty harmless.

I think he's often off topic but he doesn't seem to be rude or
ill-mannered in nature.

There is a group of people on this forum who are very ill-mannered in
nature and that is a much greater problem than the benign albeit
sometimes banal postings of dorayme.

If you look through this thread you can see that dorayme's initial
posting is absolutely fine for participation in this newsgroup, it is
on topic and certainly not rude. There then follows a series of
postings from this group of people which are rude and ironically off
topic despite their apparent self-righteous claims to be the upkeepers
of all that is right in usenet - those ones are always the worst :)

Personally I think dorayme would do well to just kill file the people
in this group now and waste no more time with them.

Equally those people who don't like dorayme's postings should just kill
file him.

As a general statement:

When you are responding to a post on usenet you are communicating with
a fellow human being, someone who deserves respect.

There are guidlines for usenet but you are not the enforcer of them and
if they are being broken then just politely pointing this out with good
humour usually sorts it out.

The culture of rudeness towards people on these comp.sys.mac newsgroups
will not benefit anyone. It will not benefit the immediate victims nor
will it benefit the perpetrators. When people are being rude and
bullying in nature it is because they themselves are unhappy.

Think about it this way, happy contented people don't go around
starting arguments over nothing; do they?

Start trying to be happy and contented. Stop starting arguments over
nothing.

I won't be responding again in this thread.

The point is that there's no gang, no leader, just individuals posting
according to their own wishes, and they sometimes happen to agree.
Everyone will have their own opinion of another and his/her posts.

I happen to believe that dorayme is likely a nice person but one who has
a way of irritating people and simply cannot accept the possibility that
this is the case. Bear in mind that, one called a narcissist, she went
on at length about herself.
