No, you've misunderstood me yet again. I have imputed that you HAVE BEEN BEHAVING like a dick, on the assumption you're quite able to behave congenially too. I have commented on what you have done, not what you are, with the request that you change your behaviour. > The way I see it, your complaints may be may easily addressed: > 1) Get permission to moderate the Free Software Foundation's servers > or; > 2) Use a killfile (quick and efficient) > or; > 3) Continue to engage in a pissing contest with me (i.e. "feed the > troll"), as I have a substantial amount of free time available > or; > 4) Stop playing "big brother" protector to those you perceive I've > insulted since it is demeaning to them to imply they can't defend > themselves > or; > 5) Just shut the fuck up since you are obviously a hypocritical, > self-righteous prick. You just don't get it, probably you don't want to. Most people around Usenet, mailing lists and the like, recognise that basic courtesy is a prerequisite for the group/list/forum to work properly. When that courtesy is lacking, the group becomes dysfunctional, as gnu.misc.discuss has clearly become. Maybe that's what you want. Are you capable of backing off? Of recognising that other people also have rights? The world doesn't revolve around you. I sincerely suggest you ask a good friend, assuming you have one, to tell you what he/she REALLY thinks of you, and to listen to what gets said. Good night. -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany). _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
