I checked in today, and see that things are once again deteriorating on rctn in many threads. Maybe it's time we posted the FAQ and reminded everyone what this ng is all about! (And that does *not* include trashing other people, even if you disagree with them - if you must do that, take it to private email). 


I see - self appointed  Inspector Hass, is it? Get real!

Been a bad day, Pat? No, I'm not a self-appointed inspector, just someone who's tired of seeing all of the petty bickering here. Even threads I was reading for info (thus not ignoring/deleting) have dissintegrated. Life is bad enough with the hurricane and the gulf war, now I can't even read what *used* to be my favorite ng. I realize we're like a community, but at the same time when it gets to name-calling and back-and-forth bickering between 2-3 people, maybe it's time *someone* give a wake-up call that this is a group for people who have a love of needlework in common, not a newsgroup for trashing people because their views differ.

And since when is posting a netiquette FAQ, which, BTW, used to be posted monthly here, being a self-appointed anything?

I lately have little patience for this crap after just burying a friend at 30 from a heart attack, still consoling his inconsolable 31-year-old widow, and sick of people who don't appreciate how good they really have things. If y'all want to waste your time and energy bashing people on the internet, it's your life to waste. I'm off to spend time with my precious family and do some stitching. If this is the response a mere faq posting gets, don't worry, it won't happen again, guess I'll unsubscribe as so many others have. I have more important things to do than read posts such as your response.

(and it's not Inspector Hass, it's Dr. Hass Jacobus - if you're gonna be nasty about it, at least get the name right!)
