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 140 of 174 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Dave on 04-Jan-2002 08:08 GMT | In reply to Comment 128 (William F. Maddock): Dont assume everyone who speaks English is Christian, that is bigotry in the extreme.
Because I found your laughable comments about non believers not being able to understand I printed out your words ( comments and claptrap ) and sought some other opinions, being careful not to state my opinion of the material first.
My partner, who is Jewish of which your religion is just a minor schism also thinks you are a patronising twerp aswell and that anyone with a reading age of over 12 could understand it.
I also ran it past two people at work who are devout Christians who said that your comments made them feel uncomfortable and smacked of dangerous fanaticism. To quote: "That is the wrong way of going about spreading the message of Jesus, it just puts people off and sounds very much like the kind of non inclusive claptrap that Jesus preached against". By devout I mean they kneel down and work and pray to their lord, lead prayer meetings et al.
So, its not just athiests, eh? Sure its a small sample but hey dont let facts get in the way of rabid spittle. I recommend a nice dose of "The Life Of Brian" to bring you back onto the same planet to return you to being a "good neighbour".
You see this is another reason why I would love to have a server side killfile, Id add you to it because whilst I think you have the right to spout turgid guff, I have the right not to listen to it and so do others.
