No, my problem with whoever it was the non-context giver, was that he repeatedly posted a standalone sentence with nothing to indicate who or what he was talking to or about. I pointed out that this makes his posts hard to understand, and suggested that he notice that convention is to include enough context to let people know WTF he's talking about. > Or is this just about > collectively shutting up someone you don't like? I never could tell what he was talking about. If his goal is to communicate, he's not doing it well for the reasons I suggested. > PS: I thought even slrn had threads... It does. It also has a "show only unread messages". A thread display only helps if the other messages are also unread and therefore displayed. There's a reason that the "include some context so people know what the heck you're talking about" convention developed. There's a difference between being ignorant of it, and in choosing to continue to communicate poorly. He chooses to not quote, I choose not to read him. I'm not shutting him up, I'm just not bothering to read his posts.
