- Oh horsecrap. I'm quite glad 'dreas posts, because he has a knack for
- stories (even if he does emulate Mr. Hampe's style, which makes me eyes
- hurt at times :-) The group would be poorer without him.
-
- But I don't like one vector his postings take, and I happened to find
- that a good time to say so. (And yes, there have been others, but I
- wouldn't exactly think I took on dreas's "reeducation" the way you
- jumped on Ed Wright.) The extra motivation to comment this time came
- from the fact that he was flipping off everyone who commented that they
- weren't nuts about his posts. I'd prefer a statement like "Well, I
- hear you but I disagree" in that case. Something that said that he had
- taken the time to think about the issues raised, and rejected them for
- his own reasons. I'd do that, and I don't see how asking him to do that
- was something you'd even care to comment on.
-
- So given that you're pretty much telling me what I may not post, what's
- your excuse? What was it that motivated you to follow up?
