case number one: That quote was taken completely out of context. If you read the
response before that and before that, you would know that it was a joke. The subject was
on the little squirty noise which narcojets make. Great. It was my comment for being
over-pedantic.

case number two: I do provide constructive contributions. Examples: Overlooked
rigger accessories, Overuse of mana, Kama gelrounda, questioned armed combat. If I write
a mock, there is a criticism within it, it softens the blow.

case three: You accuse me of poor etiquette, yet you freely flame me on a mailing
list. If you really thought i should leave, you should mail me privately and state
your mind.

case four: I don't answer much mail at all. If I do, there's a reason other than
straight out wasting space.


So in conclusi0on, I say if you don't like my posts, dlete them without
reading them. There is info inside, it starts continuing topics, and I think that I
have some valid points. If you are offended, flame my address, but don't clutter the
net with criticisms of me. Especially when you don't know the whole story.

Blow it out your ass.

Hmm... what did you do to me, I wonder?

Better mine than yours, honey, which is what you invited me to do earlier.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

THIS is why people are getting pissed off at you, you idiot!!!! In this
instance, you attempted to write a fairly logical defence of yourself, and
then end it with this! You will make NO friends on this list with such
behavior. I think this would be a good time for you to sit back and
_watch_. Don't post for two weeks, just observe how people treat each
other. NO ONE uses unacceptable language, and NO ONE blatently uses the
tone or attitude that come across in your posts. Also, learn how to use
smilies!!! If you really are kidding when you spew such trash, then at
least indicate it's lightheartedness with a smiley!!! And yes, I'm posting
this to the list because I think 99% of the people on it will agree with me.

Look before you leap, Bob, look before you leap.

You seem to ruin your own defense. You were not flamed you were chastised,
but you did flame. I prefer not to read posts like yours. You may have some
valid points but I have to read through material I find offensive, and I
shouldn't have to do that. My mail reader (AOL) does not allow me to filter
mail so I do not know that it's from you until I open it up and by that
time...too late. So don't go away mad...just go away.

At least Bob didn't drag up the "I hate deckers: a guide" thing again. If any-
one remembers, I started the "I hate decker haters: a guide", the only thing wa
s that I did it in good humor (IMHO), after the thread started generating too
much crap did I realize what it really was (hey, there are things I don't part-
icularly like about SR but I won't start threads over it).
