So you consider it babysitting. Hmmmm. Oh boy. :)

What's this chicken and egg crap about? A point was brought up which
you thought was ridiculous enough to be rude and call it idiotic.
Prove why you say this instead of rationalize it like how I rationalize
mine, then expecting me to do more than you do to make your point.

>From this paragraph, I can say Steve, that IMHO, you are simply being
rude and that's your fundamental problem. This discussion list doesn't
need any of it. It's downright disruptive and intimidates those who
don't know you for who you are.
What makes it worse is your lack of insight into it because you find
being polite political BS. That's crap and you know it. You just can't
be bothered and we are perhaps not worth the effort of a little of
your politeness. I am saying all this so that others will know that we
don't subscribe to this sort of behavior.

Why be threatening in the first place?

That sounds rude again Steve. I am not shaken by it in the least but I
need to indicate your rudeness.
I don't wish to go on with this and I guess it will relieve others.
I, however, needed to make these points public since the previous
exchanges have been public.
