There seems to be a double standard here, Jeroen. You don't want to avoid mentioning something simply because it might hurt someone's feelings (a position that I have, although see caveat below), but you think others should be sensitive and avoid talking about something? This is a direct contradiction. No doubt you will try to twist logic around so that you claim it isn't a contradiction, but it won't work. You've definitely contradicted yourself. > I can only see malicious intent from your side here, so I am going to > stick to what I wrote earlier. It seemed like a valid point to me. I didn't see any malicious intent. I think you have made a false accusation, jumping to conclusions in much the same way JDG did earlier. You two argue more similarly than either would care to admit. > No, I am not going to unilaterally decide to unsubscribe you; That's good.

I sure hope not. I think both you and JDG should think a lot about the last week or so, and maybe then you both will find a way to be more interesting and less hostile on the list in the future. *** CAVEAT: I would only have used a Nazi comparison if it was extraordinarily apt, since I know that it tends to distort a discussion. I would have tried extremely hard to find another way to make my point before I would mention the Nazis. *** -- "Erik Reuter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.erikreuter.com/
