I take it you are referring to me? I didn't make any such "judgement"
upon him until he posted his response. I originally based my response on
a *possible* intent. You judged me. He judged the entire list. I stand
by my original comments. They based on Demosthene 3's *and* Loche 7's
postings.
On his second post he insulted everyone who responded and his rebuttal
was arrogant and uninformed. He attacked the characters of those who
responded instead of making a solid argument for his post. He made
claims about the rules and did not back them with page references. He
pissed me off. As I read his post it appeared that he had posted with
the intention of gaining approval from the list. (He never made any
mention of those who posted serious/ semi-serious suggestions as to how
to make this work or how to get the desired effect, which I did.) If
this all constitutes Judging him, then yes I judged him.
I have / had no intention of disuading him or anyone else from posting.
I hope he will post and hasn't left this list, but hopefully his next
post will be better informed.
