RE: [Leica] Enough

Maybe an English teacher, maybe not a statistician.

I have been associated with forums and list serves for a decade. I have
never heard people belittle one another as much as on some photography
forums. Granted, it is a miniscule number (is that the right word?), but I
have never seen any on other forums. And some of those forums involved
things like handguns. Those folks were downright cordial all of the time.

Perhaps the CompuServe forums were more inclined to boot people off when
they got insulting. I would prefer not to banish people with bad manners,
but why anyone would get angry enough to publicly call someone a moron over
word usage is amazing to me.
