That argument, at least on my side, stopped days ago so your use of "this" is
misplaced or perhaps you are just late in reading your email.
As to irrelevant, I think a discussion, however angry of racism and colonial
mentality within ecofeminism and the overal environmental movement is highly
relevant - though perhaps it is not important to you. I am sure there are many
topics discussed on this list that I don't find relevant - like a long focus
on neo-nazis, but I simply voiced my opinon without demanding that others
follow it, agree withi t.
This may seem strange to you, but I am not quite concerned about what you find
adult or not, but perhaps you need to roll back and look and see what I wrote,
rather than deciding it was all childish - but again, you have your opinion
which means nothing to me, and I have mine which means nothing to you.
On an email list, follow me on this, we all get mail that is sent to the list,
so we are never left alone from any conversation. I dropped the topic days
ago, but I am not being left alone from your repeated confusions about how to
sign off of a list.
Like a child who can't open a door, let me say as gentle as possible - take
your time and twist the door knob honey
I am more than fed up with little paternalistic minds, and far to busy
deleting email from this list to make sure I don't read the mails where every
one decides they are native american and wants to crash a holy site and of
course mr. dees will brag that he once defended a holy site from neo nazi's
inspired by the spirit of warrior amazons he called out to for guidance
through his poetry as he walked hand in hand with his strong black woman date
and went to pick up his "sensitive liberal pagan man" award from the Lakota
elders.
In your case, perhaps (this may seem childish) put in the subject line "attn
list moderator" or as someone to send you the list intro sheet, or something
along those lines.
Worse than childish debate over a topic, is childish complaining about having
to read a debate which you could just "DELETE" see that button on your
keyboard? Or maybe you could just sign off without whining?
Childish insults just because you are cranky and didn't delete, is not pretty
either.
