It's not only the loonies, even the 'normal' people have long standing feud with other members, such that they enjoy bashing each other every chance they get. It came to the point that I used to be able to predict what a post is going to be about merely by looking at the name of the poster and the poster he is responding to. Eg Peter Skinner and the Cookie (and the Arena team), Uri Blass and Vincent (and his gang Arturo Ochoa,Mridul Muralidharan), then there used to be the deep blue feud with Hyatt+Dann versus a lot of others, nowadays there is the "anticomputer play works, doesnt work" debaters.. I don't follow as much as I do these days, but I'm sure there are similar feuds. >If friendly, intelligent, on-topic discussions is what you want, the Winboard >Forum is the place to go. The post below yours by Conkie is exactly what I mean. Some feud reaching back to the days where Frank and Volltik had some falling out in 1999-2003?? Zheng
