You aren't the only person who thinks that mindless and pointless insults
drive people away because they can't handle it. I've seen it posted
several times and I think it's time to refute it. People are driven away
because they have no interest in mindless and pointless posts. People
read this newsgroup for many different reasons, but most posters aren't
interested in reading stupid insults. Intelligent and cutting insults?
Sometimes, for some posters. Reading repetitive posts that say, "you are
an idiot" is dull and boring. People don't leave this group because they
are "driven away", they leave because they are bored and don't find that
the posts are interesting enough to be worth the time.
