I, like Jim, am at the point of leaving the group. Part of my frustration is
the increasing number of posts that are not related to Leica, or even
photographic matters. However, I have an even greater problem with arrogant,
incivility such as that manifested in Creek's rude bleat. Not only is it
rude, it indicates that Creek did not read Mr. Bauman's post.
I have been on the LUG for something approaching 18 months, and my
impression is that things have gotten worse. The total number of posts has
increased while those with actual Leica content have decreased. At the same
time, people seem to me to have grown increasing rude and uncivil. It's a
pity as there are many good people with a world of knowledge to contribute.
And I do not mean political knowledge.
Sincerely,
Joe Stephenson
