Fair enough. I'll concede that I should not have responded in such an
inflammatory manner. I suppose my frustration with the give me give me
attitude that is far too prevalent within the blind and VI community should
be expressed in a more constructive manner.
I apologize for my choice of language, and when one of my friends is
being attacked on list, then I will try to defend him/her in a manner that
benefits the community as a whole. I'll also conduct myself, in light of my
remembering the young age of some of our participants, refrain from using
seemingly offensive language, but I would like some clarification as to what
is considered profane with regard to the list. I used to work in radio, and
the definition is often subjective beyond the usual seven words.

PS: TO those whom I offended, I'm sorry for my lack of thought before I
posted my statements regarding Alchemy Game Studios which were clearly
inflammatory.
