Without passing judgement on the merits of your claim against Erik, I thought I'd
start a meta-thread about the recent issue by pointing out a few of the list
guidelines I think you're breaking in your pursuit of this issue.
As members of a civilization, these are the guidelines we agree to live under:
- We post as if every message we write as if we were going to read it aloud in front
of the whole group.
- We DO include a few lines if our reply can't stand on its own.
- If our reply is more appropriately directed only at the original poster, we don't
send it to the entire list.
We further agree that:
- Abusive or inflammatory language is not welcome.
- Chain letters are not welcome.
- Mail bombs to each other are not welcome.
- The Listowners have the right to remove someone who does not wish to comport
themselves in a manner concordant with our civilization.
