Absolutely agree. I would much prefer to see discussions on technology than
the foolish personal attacks, *especially* the complete absurdity of posting
people's personal info to try to subvert Google searches, make an implied
threat, or otherwise make someone reasonably feel threatened. Utter
nonsense.
Sadly there are too few like us who feel that way... but if you, I, and
others who feel this way point out when people act in ways that are
unacceptable maybe they will get the message.
Maybe not.
