All,
I was dismayed to see replies to my posts about John Mikes and his treatment
of list members. One said "Give me a break" when I asked to have him removed
from the list while another said he was shocked by the list's treatment of
this person.
I say to these people did you read his posts? He came onto the list and said
"I want a roadster. No rust buckets." He gave no location, no indication of
year or model. When several list members asked about his location and what
kind of roadster he was interested in, his reply amounted to "I know
roadsters. If you have one tell me about and if I like it I'll make an
offer, pick the car up, drive home and unsubscribe from the list".
I wrote what I thought was a very well thought out response that since he
was coming onto a discussion list and was asking for help, that he might
want to be a little less rude when you are asking for help. Other members of
this list were even more harsh than I.
But when he responds "What the hell do you people care where I get my car
and to Stay the hell out of my mailbox", in my opinion he has given up the
right to be here. I am person that does not tolerate this kind of behavior
in real life and I will be damned if I will condone it by remaining silent.
This man is rude and has demonstrated nothing but contempt for this list
after people tried to help him.
Give you a break? Give yourself a break and demand that we treat each other
with courtesy and respect here. I always do.
I do however agree that this thread is counter productive and will not
comment further on list. If you wish to flame me, please do so off list and
I will do the same.
