[Rhodes22-list] Re: List etiquette. Inflammatory rhetoric

[Russell Miller]

I think you are completely out of line, reprehensible and to be disregarded
as one who has no human compassion.

Well, since you've decided to make our private conversation public, I'll
respond publicly:

To all (including Saroj):

My reference to Saroj as a "bitch" in no way questioned her sexual
proclivities or her ancestry. My reference was as one who complains without
cause and out of ignorance. One who sails is a sailor. One who bitches is a
bitch.

If anyone received the statement in any other way, I apologize for my
misinterpreted statement, but NOT for the sentiment.

Misconstruing one's personal beliefs is a personal attack, whether it is
couched in politically correct language or not. I have never "met" more
intelligent, well meaning people than some of those I've met on here. At the
same time, I've never met more ignorant, close-minded, hateful people that
some of those that I've met on here. I'll leave it up to the list to decide
which individuals fit into which categories.

Herb.
I'm not going to debate this with you. Calling Saroj a "bitch" is
unacceptable. Having an intelligent discussion is acceptable. We all agree
that  we
don't all agree, but can discuss it without inflammatory rhetoric. Telling
someone to "fuck off" is acceptable bar language. Name calling is not. It
will  get
you into a fight in any bar I've ever been in and that's why I stay out of
bars. The more I drink the worse my vocabulary becomes and I end up doing
things
 I might later consider stupid.
