Stop the madness

You can't imagine how happy I am to have bowed out of this one after day 1. I wish I could compute the time I saved by not reading that

Wow, I glanced at that thread but never got involved. Good thing for me.
I wonder if that's a record - 323 posts.

That's crazy. Unfortunately I don't have a "lock thread" flag. I think I need one (time to talk to the developers).
If they're gluttons for punishment and want to keep going, not sure I want to stop them.
-
No one has posted on that thread for a couple of days, so maybe the fire is burnt out.
On another note: Is posting on this forum the best way to report something like this, or it there a better way?

Click on Steve's name to see his profile, then find and hit the PM link. That way he gets a notification that there's something to do.

Count me in. I think that thread was just "sick"

There's actually 2 nearly identical threads for the same thing by the same participants... I'm truly amazed... not in a good way, either.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:

yes, it is truly amazing what geeks can get so worked up about.
I tried to explain those hot feelings around banker's rounding to my wife, and was met with a "WHAT????"

It reminds me of this quote from Henry Kissinger:
"University politics are vicious precisely because the stakes are so small."

Beautifully stated, Mr. Jones.

Looks like it came back from the dead, and it's just as nasty as ever. Maybe worse.

Look at it this way... they're all flaming one thread and leaving the others alone

Unfortunately, some keep alluding back to it in other threads. Yes, I have been involved in the BR thread, but I have been very good about leaving my comments in that thread and not alluding to things said in it in other threads in which I have posted (except this one).

Is there a terms of usage for this board? I've seen them on other boards. Generally something along the line of 'no profanity, be polite'
Personally, I get very upset when I post a reply to someone's problem and then get insulted by another poster, just because he doesn't agree with something I've said.
Disagreement is fine, insults are not. Most people here are very polite, very friendly, but there are 2 who come to mind whose posts I'd rather not read.
