Most Goanet sages would advise me to ignore the following post.
But Cornel is my good friend and a learned man.
Below, is a great example of one who did not read or understand what is written.
As I read his response, Cornel, Salman Rushdie and myself are saying the same
thing. But then it is said, "Great men think alike." :=))
Kind Regards, GL

If you find Goanet postings somewhat irritating, please ignore them or use your
delete button.
Let me also remind you of a famous author (perhaps it was Salman Rushdi) who
said that, nothing is worth writing about if it will not irritate anyone. I
have retained the posts below so that Goanetters get a good flavour of this
discussion.

Going out to pasture as punishment is better than a horse retiring to stud. I
would take that any day.:=)).
So too, would I take, "sarcasm, wit, ire, irritations and sensitivities" and
metaphors etc.. And definitely prefer them to insensitive, deceitful,
innuendo posts AIMED SOLELY and REPEATEDLY to embarrass and vilify others.
I hope most writers and readers know when that line is crossed.

That may irritate some other people, too!! That's Goanet for you - can't please
all the people all the time, some you can't please at all *smirk*. So where
were we - sarcasm, wit, ire, irritations and sensitivities - try slipping that
Russell Peters DVD into the Home Theatre and sit back and laugh!!-

I honestly don't think I deserve this. I am not being any more or any less
irritating or insensitve than most posters on this forum. I have quiet a few
people who write to me and tell me that they enjoy my postings. However if I
am, then I shall put myself out to pasture and save everyone the irritation.
