- First of all, as a roommate of mine once said, "Chill out." This is the type
- of feed that will only occupy bandwidth that should be used for less
- philosophical debates. There is a listserv dedicated for people who want to
- scream, (darn I forget the name though!) look it up. If people want to listen
- and talk back to you they'll tune in too. Your posting wasted enough of my
- time that it should have been censored itself! (How's that for full circle?)
- Finally, as I see it, the key difference between shouting obscenities in the
- classroom and shouting them in type in the proper places (like the shouting
- listserv) is that people don't have to tune in if they don't want to. Perhaps
- I should be reprimanded for not practicing what I preach in that last sentence,
- sorry for wasting people's time. I was just #@%$&*! pissed off. (See, I
- censored myself there.) Be careful about posting inconsiderate posts in the
- wrong places or you may find yourself kicked off the mailing list!
-
- If anyone cares to flame me, make it personal. My address is at the bottom.
-
- Sincerely,
-
- Marsh
