OT: "Abusive drivel"?? How so??

Are you REALLY that unaware of the impression your posts make? You've apologized for your demeanor in other newsgroups, finally realizing that you were perceived as threatening. Are you surprised other people also find you offensive?

Your standard operating procedure is to inundate newsgroups with emails about inanities, such as gigabit dialup connections, 600 petahertz processors, and, now, impurities in dairy products.

Your posts are -

Abusive - with titles like, "Answer me or else I'll keep posting here until you do!"

Abusive - your posts are not on topic. This is rec.food.baking not rec.food.purity

Drivel - your posts go on forever with repetitive rants

Drivel - your posts contain endless and endlessly varying acronyms you make up on the spot and which make no sense whatsoever

Are you entitled to your opinions about food? Yes, definitely.

Are you entitled to post them here? Sadly, yes.

Do we have to like them? No, definitely not.

Do we have to pretend to like them? No, definitely not.

Do your posts have the singular redeeming value of being amusing? No, not at all.

If you seriously hold the positions you espouse, which I doubt, there are ways of making the points and sharing your views that don't automatically alienate the people with whom you are trying to communicate.

Mike, you're a very kind and well-spoken man.

Maybe I should say "well-written."

You know, when i read that first post about the cream, for a few minutes I honestly thought someone was testing a new version of The Complaint Generator.

And people call *me* abrasive.
