how very insightful, thanks. >You are being an ass because you >keep claiming that I have done nothing when it is clear that if I had >done nothing, we wouldn't even be having this conversation! > if your goal was to have a little flamewar, congratulations, you succeeded. be proud, but it seemed to me your point was to deal with a really bad legal and public releations situtaion. so lets stick to that instead of how much emailing you've done. i was trying to back out graciously from this and not turn it into some stupid flamewar since i think both of our points have been adaquetly made, but you seem hell bent on turning it into one. calling someone an ass and disregarding what they are actually saying so you can win some pathetic pissing contest is not a real great way to encourage interaction from the community. its down right juvenile. thanks a lot. for some reason you keep missing my point. sure, you've "done stuff" like start up an important conversation, congrats, pat yourself on the back... but wait, was that the goal? to start a conversation? of course not. what i'm talking about when i say "in *reality* you have done nothing" is this: have you *accomplished the goal* of this increasingly pointless discussion? time will tell if just politely asking people (again) to not put links to child porn at the top of the first linked and most highly regarded index site, but i'm going to wager that no, this isn't going to work. if i'm wrong, believe me, i'm *very* happy about it, but until i see otherwise i dont buy it. there, that pretty much sums up my stance you keep cutting up and taking out of context, is this that hard? >>and i wish you would >>hear me out instead of resorting to childish insults. >> >> > >I have heard you out. > have you? i've conceided points where i was wrong and tried to keep this civil, but it seems to me like you were to busy trying to flame me to actually hear me. -- ____________________________________________________ independent u.s. drum'n'bass -- http://vitriolix.com _______________________________________________ devl mailing list devl at freenetproject.org http://hawk.freenetproject.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
