Today, I tracked over one hundred attempts of abuse on ANN. I've been working on the filters and editing mechanisms for over four hours. Maintaining ANN is turning into real work, and all I see are tasks that I despise. This one individual, and the general attitude on ANN lately, is alienating visitors and making this site a horrible place to be. Most of what I see is insults and blind advocacy... I'm tired... And I can just see the negative comments again, in reply to me posting this...

MOTD 02/01/2002 : Comment 101 of 174 | ANN.lu |
Posted by William F. Maddock on 03-Jan-2002 13:27 GMT | In reply to Comment 3 (Daniel Miller): I can amen that. I must confess that I haven't been on the newsgroups in several weeks at least, so I haven't seen it there, but I have seen it wherever I have gone (except the mailing lists I'm on). I haven't seen it so intense either. It doesn't really surprise me, though. The Amiga community has been hanging on for an incredibly long time with virtually no real hope in sight. We haven't been anything but an anachronism for all that time. Why bother with us? Now, though, things really are happening, and someone sees "us" as a force to reckon with, so they are, in their own way, trying to fight what is about to happen. Just remember the old saying, "It's always darkest just before the dawn." I don't care how true or not true that is in a meteorological or astronomical sense. It is true in the sense intended. I'm sure many of us have been through times like these in our personal lives. I know I have. In fact I wrote about it last evening, before our prayer meeting at church. The result is sitting up on the Net Distillery, either in postscript format in pub/inbox, or in PDF format in pub/out with a filename, not considering case, of IntoYourLove. The filename extention will be appropriate to the format, of course. I should also say that I don't expect non-Christians to understand it as written, but I am hoping that someone will find it helpful.
Christian, please don't give up. |
