I gotta be me!
Maybe that would encourage people to put a little MORE QUALITY into their posts rather than just post off the cuff remarks and snide comments?
Sorry RAZD, nothing short of a personal visitation from God could stop me from posting snide comments, and probably not even that.

p.s. It isn't my fault, I was born with an overactive snark gland.

Not much of a dog pile.
what you guys are doing to Buz, is a good example of what "Dog piling" really is.
No it isn't, the most replies Buz has had to any post in this thread is 2, and that was only for 2 of his posts. In contrast in your "Peer Review or BUST??" thread you have few posts with less than 2 replies and as many as 8 replies to your OP.
TTFN,
WK

Re: Not much of a dog pile.
Hi Chuck,
Apparently you either can't count or can't read.
The most replies Buz has had to any post is 2. All together he has had more than 2 replies from a variety of participants, but no single post has had more than 2 replies. In fact only 2 of his 6 posts have received 2 replies.
I think our disagreement here probably stems from different understandings of what constitutes dogpiling. I consider it to be dogpiling when a participant is overwhelmed by a consistent stream of multiple responses to his posts, for almost every post he makes he gets 4 or more responses from different people. This can quickly ramify to the point where a new poster can be debating almost a dozen people after only a handful of posts often about wildly divergent things.
You make Five.
How can I be contributing to a dogpile on someone I'm not debating with? I haven't replied to Buz at all, and I'm not addressing Buz's arguments. You seem to have an idiosyncratic understanding of what the term dogpiling means.
TTFN,
WK
