Hello bearophile,

I'm curious to know what "bearophile" means?
No cross, no crown, no green star. If you're disgusted by someone's
username and it isn't actively evil, pretend you don't know what it
means. Don't write a post abusing his desired lifestyle.
Hmm... very interesting.
And where does this "rule" of yours come from?
The Constructed Languages mailing list. (The green star refers to
Esperanto. The Constructed Languages list does not allow advertising
for languages intended as international auxiliary languages.)
Oh boy! Come on now... you guys, this is so apparent an issue. I am
actually a little surprised a few of you are so defensive of this
situation. I'm not sure how far you would go to defend something
"evil"... but I become more astounded all the time. How far does this
go before you finally decide it's time to step in? I hear some of you
gripe so strongly (verbally violent) over the internet marketing and web
scripts... and yet you will defend such things as this so ruthlessly?
Yes. That's exactly because we're not assholes.
I'd say your forcing your philosophy on me. That's not very nice. :)
I would like to. It would make everyone be nice, or pretend to be
nice, or stay on topic. And since relatively few people want to be
mean, and one mean person can upset many others, this should increase
the amount of happiness in the world.
And will you please define "nice" then? You have chosen your side. I'd
rather you just be honest and say that you don't like my side of the
discussion. But you are refusing to recognize that "nice", in your case,
is letting whichever side you prefer have their say, no matter how
diabolical, without a balance from the opposite side. I'm amazed you
pursue this argument so relentlessly too.
I wrote a further reply to you offlist so as not to clutter this
forum.
Ok, as you wish. :)
