- Choosing Sides???
-
- There seems to be a flame war going on within our little group. I do
- not want to participate. I read this group off of a bbs connected to
- Bates college; it cost me money to down load all of the various
- missives. I read everything off line and reply the next day or latter.
- I don't have the option of "dev/null" or whatever. However, I became
- a participant by accident. I recently wrote: "Matt, PLEASE CORRECT
- ME." and some other useless item in the same vein. I'd like to
- apologize to all; I SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE IT!!!
-
- Matt has recently demanded that we "STOP." I hope we can. However,
- though we seem to be computer nerds, we still are human and have
- feelings. I was once a teacher. Ancient history - college and high
- school. While teaching high school, I had the honor of teaching EMH
- students in one of my classes. The class was enjoyable; their
- ignorance was a joy to work with - a constant challenge. While walking
- the halls, whenever I heard other students deride any of those
- students, I DERODE the individual very hard. For those not at K-fest,
- I'm about Matts size, though I now have a disability, was athletic and
- was not an easy carry for the "derode" individual.
-
- I value greatly and use the encyclopedic knowledge Matt (and others)
- provide! However, I don't like being called stupid or having it
- implied that I am stupid; I'm sorry - I'm weak!! I AM STUPID, BUT IT
- HURTS TO BE REMINDED.
-
- I see that Matt has singled out individuals within one of his missives;
- I'll do the same.
-
- Matt: when I'm wrong, let me know gently; I might cry otherwise and
- forget to read the whatever you are correcting. Consider me EMH; think
- of all of us as EMH. BE GENTILE!!! I see that in a recent reply, you
- actually used a smiley face - THANKS!!
-
- Matts detractors: Consider Matt as God and hope he becomes benevolent!
- He is not the MBA type who made the decision to kill the II series.
- Hate whomever within that group; I do as is evident from any of my
- diatribes.
-
-
- Who's doing what and why??
-
- Why doesn't ******** work??
-
- I really enjoy those questions and the answers!! Let's get back to
- them.
