- I learned several things in my abscence, Karen:
-
- 1) The more civil members of this list tend to shy away from the flame
- wars...I can't say I blame them.
-
- 2) Never post a controversial (read: non-PC) statement to the list unless
- you want to be labelled List Asshole for life.
-
- 3) The most interesting and revealing words-l postings are the private
- ones between list members, where I got to learn that not everyone in the
- world automatically agrees with Karen Kay.
-
- 4) All animals are created equal, but some are more equal than others.
- Marty can post a rude ad hominem attack, and he's just good ol' Marty. I
- respond in kind, and I'm just an obnoxious jerk. Get a clue Karen, not
- EVERYONE on this list agrees with everything you say, and I have plenty of
- FRIENDS here too.
-
- You've done nothing but attack me since I came back to the list, for no
- reason whatsoever. If you disagree with one of my opinions, fine; post a
- reasonable rebuttal and we'll debate. But can the personal crap; I'm not
- the only one who's sick of it; I'm just the only one who's said it
- publicly so far. Words-L is the place where the weak get eaten, and I
- have just as much right to bite as any of the rest of you. If you don't
- like ANYTHING I ever have to say, or just don't like me as a human being,
- put me in your kill file and be donw with it. Otherwise, start acting
- like a civilized human being and stop the mudslinging.
