What unusual dynamics for a list... on issues that people don't want to
hear from me on.. people jump on them.. I'm guessing the bbses and lists
that I have used in my life are quite diffrent then yours.. If there is
someone who is talking about something that is offtopic or unwarrented..
it's just dropped by the list or message board as a whole.. and the person
who posts such things eventualy catches on.. Now, I've been asked to
refrain from discussing this topic.. and I agree.. yet it's still being
agrued.. leaving me with no means of defending my views...
Heck Deirdre has said she's not sure she can be my friend because of my
views.. while at the same time stating she isn't sure what I mean by
a certian word that seems to be key to the decision.. I'll proly email her
in person about it..
sigh,
