+1, @thecarpathian

We lost another thread earlier today. The OP was simply asking opinion from actual users of three brands of ethernet cables and the thread quickly went down the path of pissing match between the usual naysayers and believers.

The only way to avoid going down the path of insults, belittling is by not engaging certain members whose sole agenda is to cause disruption with the intent of provoking others into displaying emotional responses. Just check their post history before you take the bait.

We all have taken the bait…..

Snowflakes view "If you don't agree with me, you are intolerant! You should be censored, deleted, banned, fed to the hogs'"

Conservative view " Eh, no skin off my ass. Next. "

@roadwhorerecords Here; I fixed your post below:

"I guess it's all in the viewpoint.

Snowflakes view 'If you don't agree with me, you are intolerant! You should be censored, deleted, banned, fed to the hogs''

Conservative view, "I feel threatened by change and thus will use my waning power to maintain the illusion of control even as the world passes me by."
