- This statement should be prefaced by "I think".
-
- Yours is not the only opinion on this matter. I believe that both you
- and Dan need to either:
-
- learn english sufficiently well to know when language
- constitutes an insult (assuming you are not intentionally being
- abusive, but are just ignorant)
-
- learn to value other people's feelings and opinions enough to
- listen to them without being deliberately abusive and insulting
-
- stop posting verbally abusive and insulting material because it
- is just the socially acceptable thing to do
-
- just quit posting
-
- I don't really care which it is. Any of them would be acceptable. Dan
- contributes much more noise and stirred up feelings than he does useful
- information, in my opinion.
-
- I use the net because
-
- 1 it is fun
- 2 it is interesting
- 3 I learn useful things
- 4 I get to communicate with people of similar interests
- with whom I can be (remote) friends
-
- Dan occasionally contributes to #3, usually his posts are a detriment to
- 1, 2, and 4.
-
- There are words in the english language to describe people who (mis)use
- words in order to create disharmony or demean other people. Try looking
- up the words "boor", "clod", and "egotist".
