Cypherpunks' Electronic Book (CEB) 6 the Unpleasantness.
[snip]
I don't know Tim May very well but I've noticed he gets into a lot of flame wars. Could this be his M O?: Get into an argument with a victim over a matter of fact, then slyly turn it into an attack on the person without losing the applause of the gallery? Also, I don't like his shrill strident manner. I don't like a bully. When I run into one, I like to make sure he takes a few lumps too! Yours Truly, Gary Jeffers [snip]
I like a lot of what Tim May says. I don't think he starts out to flame on purpose. I forgot something important about netiquette when I got into that flame fight with Tim. If you ignore the first salvo, flame wars usually never happen. BTW, Gary, as a former Alaskan, the remark about rabbits and moose still makes me laugh out loud... Don't know why... Apologies ad<in>vance for the wasted bandwidth. And now we return you to your regularly scheduled cryptography... ----------------- Robert Hettinga (rah@shipwright.com) "There is no difference between someone Shipwright Development Corporation who eats too little and sees Heaven and 44 Farquhar Street someone who drinks too much and sees Boston, MA 02331 USA snakes." -- Bertrand Russell (617) 323-7923
