-----Original Message----- From: grenville armitage [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 26, 2001 2:33 PM To: Lillian Komlossy Subject: offlist Re: Two things bothering me (was Re: Jim Fleming's posting privilleges have been revoked) >>Some of us give thanks for our freedoms by continuing >>to defend our rights, including the right to engage in >>discussion of, and defense of, curtailing the posting >>activities of long-time trolls. -->comment: defending your rights can be done with respect - I don't see a lot of that going on here lately. >>If you haven't been around the IETF long enough to know >>Jim Fleming, please don't belittle those of us who have >>actually had enough of him. -->comment: My remarks were meant to be constructive and not intended to belittle any one. I'm sure you did not mean to be patronise or belittle me either when you 'classified' me as someone who has not been around the IETF long enough? Without knowing anything about me except my name and gender of course? I, as many other Americans, have just recently been reminded of what is really important. If your remarks are constructive, calm and not delivered from a high horse then you offered the respect you wish to be treated with. I hope I did this in my original letter. >>"Why can't we all just get along" ? Because getting along >>sometimes involve repairing fences. And fences are rarely >>un-controversial. -->comment: True but again you can do it different ways. And again, you do it with a cliche - if I wanted to be offended by that, feeling 'belittled' I could. I never said 'Why can't we all just get along?' I have been enjoying and learning from many threads and debates on this list and most of those threads were all written in a respectful, witty, and constructive way. And they are achieving a lot more than just 'mending fences'. I suggest again - respectfully - to drop this thread and move on to more constructive issues. This will give everyone the best idea of what this list is all about and what the topic is. God Bless All, Lillian gja Lillian Komlossy wrote: > > 1.
