The last thing I want to do is consign all your postings to the trash, Bob. You 
are a great contributor to the list. And I don't want to come down as some sort 
of moralistic preacher about these things. All I wanted to do was the remind 
you (and others) that everyone has buttons that can be pushed, and that 
political remarks generally don't accomplish anything except triggering 
emotional responses. So the result is infrared shift: no more light on 
anything, just more heat. I guess my question is, is that what you want?

script of my button:

on mouseup
   put the text of fld "email" into tRemark
   if isOffensive(tRemark) then
      steamComesOutOfMyEars
      answer "Respond?" with "reply" or "ignore"
      if it is "reply" then
         answer "What tone?" with "blast" or "tactful"
      end if
      if it is "blast" then answer "Don't do it!!!"
      else if it is "tactful" then answer "Let's just get back to LC, shall we?"
   else
      pass mouseup
   end if
end mouseup
