I think I've got to the bottom of what it is that's set me off.
As I explained elsewhere I too have been using usenet for 20 odd years 
and reading this group for almost as long as I can remember.

I think what REALLY pisses me off is the attitude that you and the 
others in you little clique have towards the chastisment of people for 
what you consider to be inappropriate behaviour for this group when that 
behaviour is not directed at you.

This is an aggressive 'wolf pack' style behaviour that is designed to 
overwhelm and subdue people you decide have behaved inappropriately in 
comp.lang.java.programmer. Fortunately this type of behaviour does not 
affect me in the slightest. Having stared death squarely in the face on 
more than one occasion, to me, it is mearly an annoyance. This time it 
seems to have annoyed me more than usual however. Other less experienced 
people would no doubt feel highly intimidated and leave 
comp.lang.java.programmer never to return.

I'll leave the question of why you feel qualified to decide on the 
appropriateness or otherwise of anyones behaviour until another time.

What do you and you pals have to say for yourselves.

I would suggest that you finish reading entire posts before starting 
yelling matches, for if you had finished the sentence (assuming basic 
fluency in reading comprehension), you would have learned that Arne was 
opining that the criterion for what should be considered socially 
acceptable by this newsgroup isn't the quality of the question but 
rather by whether or not it is insulting. Also note that there was in no 
way any attempt to delineate specifically what class of questions 
corresponds to "stupid questions," which is apt because the entire point 
of the post was to postulate the nonimportance of such a class.

Unless you were trying to be ironic.

Well for someone who can spout such a long winded discourse about 
nothing in particular I'm surprised you don't see the obvious.

Allow me to explain as simply as possible.

Lets take the sentence

"allowed to post stupid questions"

Who or what exactly 'allows' someone to post a question. I suggest it is 
the nntp protocol over the users internet connection, it certainly isn't 
you or one of you little group of self appointed administrators.

The word 'stupid' in the context of a question implies an analysis of 
the question and an opinion as to it's stupidity, who's opinion exactly, 
yours ?

What makes you or anyone else qualified to determine the validity of any 
question anywhere on Usenet ... your own grossly inflated ego perhaps.

You are missing the point. It is not this particular instance of 
arrogance I particularly object to although there have been some 
spectacular instances of arrogance here today, but the general 
preponderance of puffed up self appointed quasi academic popinjays
that inhabit usenet in general and this group in particular and are 
strangling what should be a forum for the free and frank exchange of views.

When you have four people who have all pointed out that you probably 
missed the point, the evidence is in favor that you miscomprehended the 
intended point of the state.

If you read what I wrote (I suspect you didn't, at least not closely), 
you will notice that I referred to it as "what [is] considered socially 
acceptable by this newsgroup"; that is how I read "allowed to post."

> What makes you or anyone else qualified to determine the validity of any

And the entire point of Arne's post in the first place was that whether 
or not a question is socially accepted in this newsgroup is 
*independent* of its valuation as a "stupid question" or not. He never 
portrayed himself as qualified to determine the metric of how stupid or 
not stupid a question is.

I seriously doubt if you get anything other than your own inflated sense 
of self importance. See elsewhere for a discourse on the frankly rather 
distasteful behaviour exhibited by you and your little band of brothers 
towards me and others in this group.

I don't see how you arrive at those terms of characterization from what
has been written here. How do you determine that Joshua has an inflated
sense of self-importance? What makes you use words like "distasteful"? I
submit that your views may be more than a little skewed.

Again, you just don't seem to get it do you.
What has this got to do with you. If you think for one minute that I am 
intimidated by your aggressive bahaviour then I suggest it is you who 
needs a reality check. Mind Your Own Business.

If 'Joshua' has a problem with me let him be the one to speak.

Are you having a problem with the English ?

There are several passable translators on the WWW, do you want me to 
Google that for you.

What do you call the mass aggressive rounding on an individual who has

I could call it cowardice but I'll be kind and call it distasteful.

I'm feeling kind today

Perhaps that is how you behave in your day to day life, well it's not

If I feel I have nothing to add to a discourse, I won't say anything. I 
also have this nasty habit of ignoring insults or responding to them (or 
pretty much anything else) with humor.

That statement was not meant to be taken seriously. To match your 
exacting statements, I shall henceforth extricate any attempt at humor 
from all future postings.

Oh it was humor was it... I'm sorry, I seem to have undergone a bit of a

That's not what Arne's saying at all.  In fact, practically the opposite.
After all, taking as granted that newbies have an "allowed to post stupid
questions" card (or put slightly differently, "there are no stupid
questions"), which Arne clearly has done, then there's no need at all to
"pass judgment on what is a stupid question", never mind any indication
Arne feels he's "qualified" to do so (though frankly, he's answered enough
questions on Usenet over the years that if anyone is, surely he is).

Neither he nor Mark have in any way suggested that the question is stupid.
Mark's initial reply was entirely factual, including the part where he
offered EVEN MORE ASSISTANCE.

If by "lecturing" the OP means "stated several correct facts, one after the
other" and by "condescending" the OP means "demonstrated superior knowledge
of a subject", then sure...I suppose Mark's reply might have been those
things (after all, it's practically impossible to answer a fact-based
question without stating facts and demonstrating superior knowledge).

But that's not how most of the rest of us defined those words.  Usually, we
use them to carry a negative connotation, and frankly it seems pretty clear
that the OP intended them to carry that same negative connotation, not the
harmless alternate definitions I've hypothesized.  And there's just no way
Mark's reply fits the conventional definitions of those words.

> This is USENET, you don't own it, you don't have the right to tell 
> people what they can and cannot post, in fact you are just another 
> faceless whiner among so many faceless whiners.

No one's telling anyone what they can and cannot post.  No one has told the
OP that they shouldn't have posted their question.  They ARE telling the OP
that he's being completely ridiculous to accuse Mark of lecturing and
condescension.

Given your apparently and shockingly low threshold of taking offense, even
on behalf of someone else, that seems difficult to believe.

If there are 'no stupid questions' then how can someone be 'allowed to 
ask a stupid question"

It's just a question

And here's a thing. Why do Arne and his pals feel the need to chastise 
someone for being 'insulting' to a particular responder. Surely that 
responder will speak up if he feels offended.

Why do you or Arne or anyone else for that matter feel the need to 
interfere in this way.  Do you feel you have a right because you have 
'been on Usenet for 25 years' or so. Why don't you let people speak for 
themselves.

There you go again, making assumptions. The very first thing I was 
taught when studying for my Computer Science degree was 'never assume 
anything'

I too have been using Usenet for 20 odd years, I've been reading this 
group on and off for years ... today or yesterday or whenever it was 
just struck a nerve. I've been ignoring pompous self important self 
appointed busybodies for all that time so I'd appreciate it if you 
didn't don't make assumptions about something you know nothing about.

Anyway I think I've got to the bottom of what it is that's bugging me. 
It's this apparent right you (collectively) feel you have to chastise 
someone for behaviour you feel is inappropriate for this group.

Why can't you just mind your own business.

If that is your opinion, then why did *you* comment??

Because someone needs to speak out. Like I said elsewhere, I'm immune to 
your gang based nonsense, others might not be so.

The behaviour of you and you pals is unacceptable to me. This is my 
opinion, not someone elses, I don't expect or ask for anyone to stand up 
for me or take my side, and by unacceptable I mean the rounding on a 
single individual en-mass is unacceptable to me ... don't get what I am 
talking about.? just count the number of aggressive posts aimed at me 
over my discussion with you. What's the matter, can't you stand up for 
yourself, As my father used to say, "are you a man or a mouse". Do you 
need your 'friends' to massage your ego, tell THEM to mind their own 
business.

If I see this behaviour again I will take you to task again.

So the "mind your own business" rule applies to us but not to you?

Rather funky isn't it?

I've already stated my position on this, if you can't be bothered to 
read it I certainly can't be bothered to restate it

> Rather funky isn't it?

No not really, what is is is rather sad that despite stating my position 
quite clearly you still fail to see the point.

Still extremism often results in a blinkered view of reality so I 
suppose it shouldn't come as any big surprise.
