Jerry Springer, please moderate this NG!

I once thought that this was a RESPECTABLE Newsgroup that shared information
and trade secrets about Chrysler and MOPAR cars and parts.

Now it is a virtual slugfest, slinging insults, sending viruses and even
ignoring innocent postings from people asking for real help.

ALL of you people ought to be totally ashamed of yourselves, conducting
yourselves as a bunch of junior high school bullies. I am even more
dismayed that the moderator NEVER keeps this NG ON TOPIC. There are proper
places for this kind of behavior, but this is not one of them.

Yes, I could go somewhere else to get the information I need, but there are
some very knowledgeable people in this group, and do value their insights
and suggestions. I just wish that it did not have come with the insults and
mud slinging.

NOW if there is a decent person left among you guys, try to find my original
post and see if you can help me out. It is the one with the 98 Chrysler
Cirrus ABS. Please leave the insults behind, and reply to my RR email below
with your advice.

Everyone that i have talked to the last few days are decent people... do
not every insinuate they aren't..... talk to your local mechanic fi you
can't get these experts to reply to your posting...

i am not going to sleep until Jerry Springer shows up....and you can't
make me!!!!

 

You must be new here.

 

You must be new here.

I've been here for about 12 years, and it's *always* been a virtual
slugfest, with lots of insults slung in every which direction.

Via Usenet post. Sure, right.

Usenet participation is completely voluntary. Sometimes, nobody feels like
answering a particular question. That's the way the lasagna overflow bakes
onto the bottom of the oven (or the way the cookie crumbles, pick your
food-related metaphor).

That's 'cause there is no moderator, 'cause this is an unmoderated
newsgroup.

You may be right, you may be wrong, and it makes no difference, because
you're not in charge here. Nobody is.

Then I suggest you either put up with it or learn to use the filtration
capacity of whatever newsreader you like to use. There're about 130 rules
in my filter. I don't see a good 70 to 80 percent of the crap that flushes
through the newsgroups. In effect, this makes me my own moderator.

You obviously don't listen to enough Rolling Stones music. If you did,
you'd know that you cain't always git whatchyoo waa-haant, but if you try
sometimes, you just might find, you git whatchyoo nee-heed!

Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries.

 

Ooh! And Judge Judy, too!

 

??

 

I agree, it was pretty nice here until linda showed up.

I don't think this is a moderated ng so your comments about the
moderator are wasted.

Matt

 

As a matter of fact Jerry Springer DOES moderate this newsgroup, which is
why we're all having so much fun ;<)

 

Gotta love that Monty Python movie reference! Lol

 

Funny.

I thought you were the most sane one in the group.

Oh yeah. you are.

Sorry. My mistake.

Tell you what. YOU answer my original question and I will deliver Jerry to
you.

Seriously, I feel for you, Linda. These guys may be decent as you say, but
not all of them have been exactly decent to you in the last few days.

Uh, Dave? FYI, this isn't a moderated NG. It's been a slugfest for the
9 or so years I've read it. Most of us get what we need out of it
regardless.

--Geoff

 

Over the past 9 years, I have been able to come in here from time to time to
get good advice in what to do with all of my cars.

This time it is much different. There are some of the same people here in
the group, and some have helped in the past. I threw a question out there
about my ABS system, and for nearly a week all I got was garbage and no
substantive answer to my question. I get this feeling that when I came back
to the group, they were already involved with some dirt throwing at each
other, and I was just caught in the middle.

Pity.

You are right, there is no moderator. Just a bunch of well learned highly
qualified ASE certified people who had nothing better to do but throw mud at
anything that it would stick to.

Sometimes it works like that.

 

You are one of the people I was hoping that would know something about ABS
systems.

Between you and Mic Canic, you have answered most of the questions I have
ever posted here.

I do not understand what the problem is.

Curiosity killed the cat.. I could not stand being away from such a
wonderful group of guys who love to argue... Aside from being treated
unfairly and called numerous names, I just had to come back.. I don't
have any reason, really, except I missed you guys!!!!! ya'll are fun,
funny and hilarious...

What's been going on since I left?

Linda

p.s. Did i capitalize appropriately? Ya'll missed me, tell the
truth... Ya'll did...


lw

 

Oh, y'know, same as it ever was. I've been here about 12 years, and if it
wasn't gay marriage, it was Chrysler Corp deliberately killing customers
and putting shills in the forum and whatnot, or delusional Radford
students posting lengthy screeds about imaginary 1974 Dodge Dart "design
flaws"...

Welcome back,

DS

 

Thanks, Daniel... Maybe we can get an argument going on the Scott
Peterson Trial.. He was convicted of 1st degree murder for Laci and 2nd
degree murder for Conner...

linda

 

Please, not in this newsgroup.... Take it to one intended for social
discussions where you will have an audience

 

Chaos, panic, & disorder -- my work here is done.
