Thanks. I might ask the same of yourself. You
don't seem to have
looked at the efforts I've repeatedly made. What value are you adding
here beyond amusing yourself yet again?
As a list admin, suggesting you cut with the trash-talking and personal
attacks. HTH!
Cripes. I can't win here. I complain of a serial abuser and get
accused of doing the same thing by a bored admin. Are you saying I
should just cop it sweet?
I might make the occasional smart-arse comment and be a bit of a
nit-picker on things I know about, but I don't deserve continued
harassment and what looks to me like a thinly disguised death threat
from an editor who should know better. I got told months ago that
"he's like that to everyone", and while that was a comfort to me
personally, I have to wonder about what sort of environment we are
supporting here.
I really don't mind if people have opposing opinions to mine and
express them forcefully. More power to their strong right arm, I say.
Eventually the facts emerge and we come to a consensus. And often I
learn something along the way. Heaven forbid I should regard myself as
incapable of error!
But I don't hold with being bullied and threatened. Look, David, I
know I might be a pain in the bum now and then, but can you see how it
looks from where I'm standing?
