Thanks to the mods and the sane people here :)

Unsubscribing from the UK list here in a moment, with an email to UK telling them if they have the list they advertise as 'the' list they should moderate the thing, because being talked down to and being told you are an idiot by the other listmembers... reflects poorly on UK as a whole. To be honest, it really has put a bad taste in my mouth to wear a UK because I sure as hell don't want to be associated with the kind of people that populate that list. Here's the straw that broke MY back...

There was a thread on 'commando' and 'regimental' and 'freeballing' etc. Someone who had previously been talking down to me said going commando originated with WOMEN not MEN. Well, that made no sense to me. I responded:

Women go "commando"? Um... sure, that makes all the sense in the world.

I just got a response, from someone OTHER than the person I was having the discussion with:

Say Lad...(Smakes him up the side of the head)... Who do you think
gave it a name???

A GUY!!!...Commando would mean a woman is ready for action.

Give it a name.... Stupidity!!!

Lad, you are showing your IGNORANCE!!!


So, I'm done there. Thanks again mods for keeping that kinda junk off of xmarks.

The one who responded to you obviously doesn't recognize sarcasm even when it's that obvious. Sounds like a sorry place to be.

Love UKs but resigned from their list six weeks ago. Have never been disappointed with this list. Mods do a wonderful job. Thanks.

I too started out on the UK board...a kiltmaker told me about this place and I love it.

I do still watch and post to the UK board because there are SOME good people there still.

It is amazing how fast a thread can be hijacked there or how someone can pounce on one word, or misread, etc etc...lots of trolls...lots of trolls...

Seems worse since UK mgt passed on ownership.

But like I say...there are a few good folks there still... and I own eleven UKs so like to stay aware of what's going on.

May God have mercy on the tail end of anyone who dares offer constructive criticism of UK or a UK product. Management and staff of UK are okay with it and even seem to appreciate it....the loyalist trolls on the UK board do come unglued and attack with a vengence....sometimes....

I can't stand that yahoo group. Although I am still a member of the group, I hardly read the posts anymore.
