Can a QUEEN ARCHIVIST Ask A Serious Question And Expect Respectful Replies?

[QUOTE][QUOTENAME]Queen Archivist wrote: [/QUOTENAME]To Togg...

WHO WROTE: I am amazed, with so many young folk on this site that you feel it fit to not only lower the level of communication to that of a play ground.

I RESPECTFULLY POINT OUT: In the 2 years or so I have been 'involved' with QZ, I have been referred to a fuckwit, cock-sucker, wanker, tosser, shit-for-brains, lazy bastard, and many variations of Fuck, Fucker, fucking, and also the 'C' word. If you go looking you will find them. There were many such examples last time I was here (which I guess are still here, somewhere) and all the recent ones are here too - large as life for YOU to spot.

Also remaining is someone's suggestion that I be covered in gasoline and set on fire!!!! A lovely image for your young readers Togg!!

ALL THESE THINGS, Togg, ARE STILL HERE FOR THE YOUNG READERS YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT to see and ponder. You must have seen them, or some of them because they LITTER the threads where people refer to me... and indeed to numerous others as well.

I think you are having a massive joke, saying what you're saying. You simply cannot be serious.

Lots of the QZ-ers use the F word all the time, and cock-sucker and C**T, tosser, wanker... everything. You have a damned cheek having a go at ME for it, while ignoring all the other QZ-ers that surely must offend the sensitive youngsters on this site 200% more than I ever could.

YOU ALSO SAY: But no all I can see is three days of bickering and name calling, well you certainly know how to throw an insult!

TOGG... You should review what litters QZ in the way of insults and nastiness and crude and vile language (aimed at all kinds of people, not just me), because you need to get a REALISTIC overview of the problem you have flagged Togg. You seriously do.

If you are going to raise a good and valid point, Togg, I suggest you dig a bit first, so that you don't make yourself look foolish.

Have a word with yourself!!

Ha, you seem to be unable to write without lowering the tone don't you, I think if anyone here is looking foolish it's you Greg.

I certainly don't agree with all the names you get called, however, I had hoped that being that you are (effectively) representing QP here you might try to rise above it and behave in maybe the same way a grown up would? just a suggestion but I can't see Brian writing on a message board to the same way you do, but then that's because he is a well rounded well educated individual!

Lets see if you can manage to respond without uttering a four letter word.... I know it's going to be difficult.

If you want to be taken seriously I suggest another tack, I always find by treating people in the way I would wish to be treated I get a better response, but then I don't have the massive chip you seem to have.

Two suggestions, try to join in without behaving like a sulky 5 year old

And when you publish your work, don't do it until you are sure of the facts, you have the resources!! then you might get taken seriously.

Just sit back and ask yourself why do you get all this flack? could it be the way you treat people?

Could it be that when people have offer assistance you've mocked and belittled them? see i have been around a long time, I do know what people have said to you, and I can remember far enough back to when it all started, can you?

Wise up and treat people with a little more care and respect, you might find you get a lot further in life, but if all you aim to do is compile the successes of others, than I guess you've reached your own pinacle of success.

Greg post, Togg.

This whole thing is a joke. Theres a war going on in Iraq, people dieing daily and all you wanna do is give this guy (GB) crap. If people have nothing better to do then sit here and call Greg names and bicker about the job he is doing then really you should look for another hobby. Im sure If Greg had his way, things would be different such as what is released info and product wise to fans worldwide. He listens most likely to what Jim and the others at QP tell him. He came on here asking a question for the singles box and the site erupts. Grow up everyone!

I don't think this is about Greg's work at all. At least, not at the moment. Yes, I agree this site overreacted to Greg's question about the singles (which wasn't posted by him and it wasn't in this site) but Greg's problem with QZ is older than this. In the end, it's all about Greg's attitude toward other posters. I'm sure he's a nice chap in person and has a witty sense of humour but it looks like this humour doesn't translate very well into text (the all capitals text didn't help). He has also been very rude and has attacked some QZ posters directly on other occasions.

Many people complain about his work (or lack of), particulary the many mistakes in the reissue of his book but I don't think this has been the main issue all this time. I could be wrong, though... :S

Don't give that nonsense about Iraq. Iraq has nothing to do with it- it's about archivists being too indolent to find out information for themselves.

And so, self-righteous wankers like you still have time in your colossal daily schedule to come here and tell us we're wasting our time?

I think I love you. hahaha.

Greg Brooks has a problem which is:

Dissocial-Narcistic-Paranoid- Antisocial Personality Disorder

Personality disorder, usually coming to attention because of a gross disparity between behaviour and the prevailing social norms, and characterized by

- very low tolerance to frustration and a low
threshold for discharge of aggression

- callous unconcern for the feelings of others

- gross and persistent attitude of irresponsi-
bility and disregard for social norms, rules and
obligations

- persistently bears grudges, i.e., is unforgiving
of insults, injuries, or slights

- perceives attacks on his or her character and is
quick to react angrily or to counterattack

- displays rapidly shifting and shallow
expression of emotions

- shows self-dramatization, theatricality, and
exaggerated _expression of emotion

- shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

- markedly dysharmonious attitudes and behaviour,
involving usually several areas of functioning,
e.g. affectivity, arousal, impulse control, ways
of perceiving and thinking, and style of
relating to others
