pretend that any of it actually matters.

Download the MP3. Mostly passive-aggressive I suppose :-)

Yes I know about that, but it wasn't a social gathering. It was a
debate with exactly the same kind of posturing we engage in here.

Do you really think he COULD be any different in his volunteer work?
We all know the type. Typically it's the only male staff member in an
elementary school. Big expert on all things technical. Gets VERY
nasty when challenged.

I have no idea. You may be right. I notice your pronoun is without a
referent, but I guess you aren't talking about Atkinson. Or were you
including him? It takes two to tango.

I really don't think that's true.

More please....?

I think that words can hurt and harm people, and that there are some
damaged and easily-harmed people around.

But that is a matter of several choices. First there is the choice of
whether or not to engage in the debate (if you can't stand the heat
get out of the kitchen). These things are rarely if ever one-way
deals. Other than a certain pathological Australian, I don't think
anyone who posts here would simply be unpleasant to anyone who didn't
show a propensity to give as good as he got. Even the Aussie is so
patently insane that his words are unlikely to upset anybody.

Then there is the choice of whether to participate in Usenet at all.
Its nature must be clear to anyone who uses it for any length of time.
Nobody as fragile as those you are talking about is going to hang
around here.

And of course it is good for you to get beaten up (in text, not with
sticks). It helps you to thicken your skin, which is never a bad
thing.

So no, I'm certainly not worried about the emotional and spiritual
health of anyone around here.

This is an unmoderated group, part of unmoderated usenet..easily harmed people
shouldn't be here. Having said that I'm expecting a big apology from Arny cos he
upset me by accusing me of having his goat.

But was it a pretty female goat? I wouldn't like to think you were
some sort of pervert.

You need a size smaller for goats, their back legs are skinnier than a
sheep's. Don't you find the beard a bit of a passion killer though?

I looked in there briefly - it's worse than this place!

Yes, there are occasional - *issues*. Oddly, it has some of the same
distinctive features as this one: some genuine mental health issues,
oddball non-UK-based contributors with bees in their bonnets, harmless
monomaniacs, and - well, you get the picture.


I do indeed! ;-)
