News group falling apart
This was once a healthy news group with 1500 posts. Because of the off
topic posts and flame wars and the fact that a few individuals have made it their personal chat club, many of the regular posters have left for other cat news groups. This group is down below 1000 posts and dropping steadily. Go ahead and flame me too (and flame webtv while you are at it). ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') |

I understand the dilemma. You felt compelled to talk about the current situation and this was the place to do it. The means by which you contribute isn't a good enough reason, or valid one, to muster up a flame against you. Yes, it can be a personal chat club... but the chatting must be about feline matters. You can always filter out the worst offenders to get your view of the group back to something reasonable. |

News group falling apart
I know this group used to be busier, but I would disagree with healthier...
When I started it was full of bickering. There were a few "hot" people who would jump on each other. The threads would go on forever, back and forth. Some people would have 30 or more posts in one day, most of it about people and not cats. I think the on-topic stuff is probably about the same as then, just less of the back and forth fights.

---MIKE--- wrote: This was once a healthy news group with 1500 posts. Yes. They say the downward turn took place right about the time I arrived. I don't know. that's just what they tell me. That's what they tell me everywhere I go, in fact. Because of the off topic posts and flame wars You have that in every group. It must be deeper than that. I wonder what it could be? and the fact that a few individuals have made it their personal chat club, Yes, and those stuck up few know who they are. They were probably the exact same way in high school. Status seekers and slander movers. they're all the same. other groups have them, too. many of the regular posters have left for other cat news groups. Where...? Tell me where? This group is down below 1000 posts and dropping steadily. Ahh, yes. A yard full of weeds. Nice and unhealthy. Just the way some people like things. Go ahead and flame me too (and flame webtv while you are at it). ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') Sorry, Mike, but you won't katch me flaming WebTV. I was once a WebTVer myself: http://groups.google.com/groups/sear...ing=d&hl =en& I know the hurt and prejudice that accompanies the use of above said item. And it's wrong. But I got around even then, Mike. I had built a sizable reputation and a great many political enemies long before I got a computer. Even managed to change a few lives along the way. And I mean that. Guess I'll see them in Heaven someday. LOL..!! I kinda hope not! But that won't stop me from flaming you. You're a knee-jerk panic button, Mike. have a great life worrying about a silly kat group like you have just done here... I can't think of anything better for a usless person like you to do but to try and start trouble. Can you? IBen Getiner |
