- I don't recall posting any less-than-polite answers myself. As for the
- WELL, I disagree with characterizations of the WELL here *not* because I
- have personal relations with anyone, but because I use the WELL, and what
- Steve is saying doesn't seem to be connected in any way with the system I
- know.

- Is expressing disagreement the same thing as intolerance?

- P.S. Jyrki, it is only fair, if you are going to mention EFF staff
- and "less than polite" responses, that you specify which persons and which
- responses you're talking about. If you don't, it is impossible to
- gauge whether some of the "less than polite" responses were
- unintentionally so. If you are talking about me in particular, I insist
- that you specify which of my responses were "less than polite."
