For example, I think this message could have been worded in such a way that it was on-topic. Dale really had to exert himself to make this a pure flame. When he doesn't put so much effort into it, he's worth reading. See also http://minerva.fileita.it/webitalia/netscum/gravesr0.html On Sat, 11 Jan 1997, Dale Thorn wrote:
[snip] Rich, you have to have a mind to comment on my posts. To call my posts disgusting, when I as a person am 1) Vastly more concerned about justice, truth, and openness than you, and 2) Vastly more intelligent than you, is pure ignorance and hypocrisy. When you have nothing to say, you do the "attack against the man", which is a logical fallacy. You and Sandfort can lie in bed together on that one. Punk.
This was a rather harsh reply. Thank you (I think) for whatever allowance you have seen fit to give me. OTOH, I'd suggest for Rich and all of the pro-Sandy faction that they sit on their replies for a couple of hours before hitting "send", just in case the emotional (not passionate, there's a difference) content needs a little editing.
