- There is blame enough for all. First, whether in an original posting
- or a followup, it is a bad idea to cross-post without directing
- followups to a single group, or (as I have done on this posting) to
- email. Second, it is a worse idea to post to the network anything
- that is really directed to a single person. Third, it is a still
- worse idea to use, in a posting, language that may be read as harsh or
- intemperate, because other people *will* react intemperately to it,
- as we see above, and the result benefits nobody.

- "Praise in public, criticize in private".
-
- (And please do as I say, not as I am doing now! But evidently *someone*
- needed to say this.)
