And it's not just as small minded (I'm not agreeing with you, by the way) to assume that your point is the only valid point in the discussion? Nor is it just as small minded to systematically attack someone, and the community they take part in, because they have the audacity to disagree with you? > Irrelevant.

It's obviously not inconsequential, as you're making such a fuss about it. If it's so inconsequential, why not bottom post and be done with it? > > The conventions in other newsgroups are different, and I can't be bothered > to change my habits for different newsgroups just becase some internet Nazi > says so. > Congratulations, rule-abiding denizens of php-general, we're now all Nazis! Way to invoke Godwin, by the way, it clearly always wins these internet argu-debates and doesn't make you look like a loon at all. I'm going to take this opportunity to jump on the "no more respect" bandwagon. > So not only are you dictating how I post, you are also dictating which > newsreader I should use? How arrogant! "I don't like your rules, rules that existed before I got here and will exist after I leave and are agreed on by the community, so I'll not follow them!" is one of the most arrogant things I've ever seen on this list.

You're making an entire mountain range out of the proverbial molehill. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
