Thinking about unsubscribing from sd-callers

[bjarvis]

Is it just me or has the bitchy signal-to-noise ratio of the sd-callers mailing list skyrocketed just lately?

The past two weeks seem to have been a nearly continuous stream of personal insults between supposedly professional callers concerning either individuals' calling practices, club activities, or communication skills. Only Ruth Riegelhaupt-Herzig and Clark Baker seem to have been rising about the crowd somewhat to discuss issues rather than hurl personal insults.

After catching up on reading last night, I almost fired off an unsubscribe request. I don't have spare time to deal with such silliness. Still, there is occasionally a redeeming post, so I'm holding off for a couple of days. Perhaps things will improve. Perhaps my tolerance will increase. Perhaps I'll just use a kill filter. :-^

How lovely for you that you can stomach Ruth's posts.

The sd-caller list has been fairly crappy lately. About the only thing I've gleaned out of it lately is Yellow Rock Once and a Half.

My scroll finger is getting callouses.

I don't much have a problem with Ruth's postings... she seldom goes personal although she can be verbose. The sniping of Nick Turner, Rick Hampton and a few others though is really unbecoming of adults.
