- Now you see how easily humans can do things which upset other humans.

- Jerry, this is the SECOND TIME you insult people on the net.
- Now who do you think you are? You just can't stop, can you? Even so, I would
- strongly advise you to keep a very, very low profile.
-
- I didn't expect you to apologize for calling Uwe a 'bastard', but I thought
- you would have learned your lesson NOT TO JUDGE ON OTHER PEOPLE in such
- an unfriendly way.
-
- Did you realize that Uwe might have made a mistake?
- Do you never make mistakes?
-

-
- It's about time we did the same with everything you say.

-
- Ok. So maybe Uwe made a mistake.
-
- Your mistakes however (insulting, crossposting) are much worse.
-
- The difference is that you, Jerry Rocteur, never, nowhere, no way, nohow
- earned any credits on these newsgroups, whereas Uwe has earned a vast amount
- of credits. Uwe can afford to make a mistake and not being flamed to hell
- because of it. You just lost even the default amount of credits everybody
- starts with, and you have certainly done greater harm to netland than Uwe
- can ever do.

-
- It's your own decision to fetch your news from the States. There are
- cheaper, local alternatives, no doubt. So don't mention the cost of
- your transatlantic phone calls.

- Imagine the cumulative, extra cost Jerry has to pay for transmitting his 9

-
- Let's start flaming him because he apparantly thinks other people don't have
- to pay for receiving it. --- NOT!
