Gentlemen. It was i who originally perceived some unjustified aggression in the post and it was I who brought it to the attention of my fellows in the Mod Squad, to consider whether a warning or action was required.
My concern was over some of the comments and in particular the insult directed at Mike B for what I perceived to be a legitimate contribution to this post.
Mike B had deleted his post after Zeus had replied to it, so it was still visible.
Zeus then replied with this: (I have changed the problems I saw to red)
"MikeB - not sure whether you are just trying to be argumentative - or you are simply
stupid and condescending.
I fear the latter.
If you would have taken the trouble to read my original post - which clearly you haven't - you would have seen it was in response to
symmetricalgecko's post in which he commented that .."
They are there to make money, which is why they do this work anyway."
I simply agreed with that statement and commented that at least they are honest about it.
Partly pro bono or volunteer work is not something one does in order to pay the bills at the end of the month - it is something one does out of choice - in order to give something back to the community.
You even contradict your whole argument by saying "
Some people are in the enviable position...."
EXACTLY - this pro bono or volunteer work stems from them being in an enviable position.
The
VAST MAJORITY of us actually have to work for a living and getting back to my initial statement, I still say at least the W/L's are honest about it - THEY ARE IN IT FOR THE MONEY.
FYI - I probably have done, and continue to do more volunteer work than you will ever do.
Arrogant tw@t!

I hope you can understand my concern. What has happened here is that Zeus has shown that he feels he has the right to insult another member for posting their opinion on something. What has also happened is that Mike B has felt intimidated to the point of removing his valuable post in response to Zeus's aggressive reply.
All members are free to contribute their opinions and we only have a few conditions. One of these is that we respect each other. Abuse toward another forum member will not be tolerated. If your opinion is different, then make a logical, intelligent argument. Written abuse is just literal bullying.
Zeus, your contributions have been great: informative, entertaining and valuable. Please keep up the positive activity.
Mike B, we look forward to reading more of your valuable contributions also. You are a valued member.
