Goodbye

Please don't. Some people come to have fun. Some people come to learn. Some people come to teach. Some people come to antagonize. If you let the antagonizers drive you away, they won. Set a filter.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.
In case you didn't notice, Eddy is the antagonist here. So, he did win, and he self-filtered off the site.

All I said was that vaccines have risk. In fact, all I did was quote the CDC website. I didn't even state an opinion. He then attacked me as an anti-vaxxer, Trump loving, religious zealot who denies science. Which none of that is true. He lost his mind. He's done it many times before. I'm not sure if he's very stable mentally. All of our posts are there, if I did something wrong I don't mind someone pointing it out with an explanation. He's behaved this way before with other conservative people. No discussion, just unfounded accusations.

Why is there any need, at all, to make personal comments about someone else on forums dedicated to software development and the sharing of knowledge. Stop the trolling, the "let's see how close I can push it" mentality, the "it's not my fault, it was him", and instead focus on contributing to an experience that is positive for the readers here.

With new daily records ... and rhetoric about "rounding the bend" ... proves that reason has been sacrificed. For the logic-minded, "that" is the definition of "mentally unstable"; at least as it applies to their sycophants.

You are correct, Chris. However, it frustrates the hell out of me that others on the site don't get in trouble for the same behavior, let alone, a personal reply comment from you on the matter. Eddy started this, and he ended it. Let's not forget that. Since you guys banned me a while back I have behaved for the most part, and I toe the line in regards to your site and forum rules, but there is very much a double standard at this site regarding certain members and who gets in trouble and who does not for the same offenses.

Be prepared to have any answers you've posted downvoted in order to affect your rep points. :rolleyes: When I called him out on his trolling back in September, the next day over ten of my not-so-good answers were downvoted within a span of a couple minutes. I didn't care, but if it is being done to others I do care. And I care that Eddy has left. Sad.

Looking at the other thread, it's not that bad a confrontation.
It's not the first, those guys have been going at it for months if not years. What I don't get is how you can let a stranger on the internet get under your skin like that :~ Sure, I've had my disagreements with people online, but it's so very easy to ignore them, you literally just have to do absolutely nothing :laugh:

Sander you are not old, grumpy and passionate about the same subjects as the combatants. However if I bitched at you about your coding style/capabilities you might feel differently. The VB forum will miss Eddy.

I've had differences of opinion with Eddy but it is still a shame to see him go. He always provoked reaction! I am reminded of the Eurythmics song ...

Don't know. Ask Eddy. My comment is a reaction after a day's worth of nonsense from him.

I don't do any of that.

Most of my time on here IS spent on that, in QA and forums.

If that is the bar, then most people need to be let go. :laugh: :doh:

First and foremost this is a site for software developers and our rules have always been to be respectful to one another. We absolutely will miss some of the fights, name calling and trolling. We may very well call out one person and miss another. But I'm not so much interested in who started it. I care about how people react. Don't reply. Don't get personal and then point to that other person and say "he started it". I'm not going to spend my days reading through threads and deciding who's actually at fault and who's a "victim". Everyone is responsible for their own actions. I ask, with the deepest respect for those who choose to share their time and their skills in helping other programmers, to know when to answer and to know when to let a message be. We don't need to have the last word. Let's please work to give everyone a positive experience.

I've had my run in with Zurdo as well. I can't even remember what he called me, but basically a child murderer and a sorry excuse for a human being, for being in favor of abortion legalization (this was back in The Soapbox days). I'm not easily offended, but he actually managed to offend me. I think that's the only time someone on the internet offended me and I've had run ins with actual nazi's who'd hack my computer and kill my family (no joke, some people are really toxic). Then I remembered he's just some asshole on the internet, so I flagged him for abuse and I've pretty much ignored him ever since (save for some exceptions). So many people, so many opinions, on whatever subject.
