      I wish one of those threads would just grow to insane proportions. That would be fun

            First, I've got to admit that I find this whole CP-offender list to be extremely juvenile, ridiculous and distasteful. And I find it difficult to contemplate the level of disturbing reasoning that must have driven leckey into creating and maintaining such a list. But this post is more about the presence of d@nish[^] on the list which I think is totally bizarre. He's only got a 100 odd posts and most of them are helpful posts in the programming forums. He's listed in leckey's list as : d@nish: Asked the dumb question of 'can I be first to post in the Lounge?' I found a thread that he started yesterday titled "First Post at Lounge" where he asked the following question : "Just out of curiosity, I would like to get to the very first post at the Lounge. Is it possible?" I am not sure why leckey thinks the question is dumb nor do I understand why she thinks he was asking if he could be the first to post in the Lounge. If I were d@nish, I would treat this as gratuitous character assassination. I think leckey should either remove d@nish from that list or at least add herself to the list (if she really wants to keep it fair).

                Seems to me that Nish chose to start a flame war rather than solve the problem, then. Too bad.

                      and I would add stupid. It is stupid firstly because one of the key reasons for the success of CP is that the site rewards the behaviour that benefits the site, and ignores / discourages unhelpful behaviour. The self regulating forums are brilliant. By providing ANY recognition of bad behaviour (apart from simply ignoring it or marking particularly bad postings as abuse) will provide incentive to seek this recognition. It is stupid secondly because it achieves nothing. If someone really wants to behave in this way they are not going to be at all worried about a posting on some insignificant blog. It is stupid thirdly because if these folk really do upset Leckey, the worst she can do is to let them know about it. It is no different to training puppies (or in her case cats), rewarding bad behaviour with attention simply encourages more bad behaviour. Finally, it is stupid because she is making judgements of people on the most minimal of information and she may not be right. CP is all about tolerance and providing good advice. I know this may not sound very tolerant, but I hope it is good advice. [edit] and for the intolerant and a more variable quality of advice there is the Soapbox! [/edit]
