- "This exchange contains several references to your belief that you have
- the right to set some sort of flame standard for this newsgroup. Now
- that's your cue to start whining that since you don't have the 'author-
- ity' to set such a standard then you aren't really doing it or to insist
- that you speak only for yourself. The problem with that kind of ration-
- alization is that if you bully even one netter into not posting then you
- have interferred with what the rest of us read."
