At the risk of being hypocritical...
I've been on the internet for many, many years and I have seen many,
many of these types of banterings. I tend to stay the hell out of them
and delete anything I don't care to read. I have never thrown myself
into the middle of these things, with ANY type of opinion unless it
applies to the newsgroup or email list topic...
Here is what I have always found funny: When the requests for a thread
to stop become just as annoying as the original thread! There has got to
be some kind of 'half-life' calculation for this anomoly.
Boy, now I feel like Aunt Em trying to chew out the Wicked Witch in the
Wizard of Oz.
