[Rhodes22-list] Cheryl what did you get?

[Mark Kaynor]

Cheryl,

Just a quick FYI - as a fellow leftie, Id like to warn you that expressing
non-conservative views on this list may open you up to personal attacks by
certain members with whose political views you do not agree. It seems to
have died down considerably, but it got pretty nasty for a while around here
pre-election. 

Mark

I love when people express their opinions openly, and it generates
discussion.  I probably jump in with both feet TOO often, and end up with
said feet in mouth.  but I have gotten several messages from someone I don't
know.  The first time, I just pretty much ignored it, other than sending
back a "who are you" note.  then, I don't know why, but I identified him
from an old R-22 list note.  I went back in my old mail, couldn't find him,
but I am pretty sure that it was related to one of our boat search
messaages.

It was clearly not spam, and I did send back a not-so-friendly reply.  I do
have some rather out-in-left-field ideas, and I objected to his demonization
of Jane Fonda.  I will forward the message on to you, maybe you are familiar
with the guy.

What I objected to was not that there were political conversations on the
list, I haven't really seen too many, but that he is sending me email
separately and including my e-address in notes that go to the world.  I
would personally put up any of my opinions I wanted to share on the list,
not go off list, and not use the list for any other purposes.

Cheryl
