Ignoring people who are disruptive is not "decency" - it's sticking your head in the sand. >He didn't make a proclamation. pro�claim (pr-klm, pr-) To announce officially and publicly; declare. Will said, "Im not so sure I want this iMac package any more. Im maybe going to peecee!" (from the archives at <http://mail.maclaunch.com:8100/Lists/mac-canada/Message/1802.html>) Looks like a public announcement to me. Will could have said, "I have an iMac for sale...." but he didn't. > He asked for offers on his iMac, a legitimate >use of the Mac Canada board, and he gave a one line statement for his reason >for selling - also legitimate. I didn't say it wasn't legitimate. I said I completely understand why he would make that choice. >> Life's tough - get a helmet. >> >I know you're not the only one who has attacked him, and sorry others, but >calling someone a freak in public is an attack. That doesn't fall under the >guise of ribbing. In your opinion. Obviously, it depends on the tone and context. As you have no idea of my tone, you have no factual information on how I meant it. >One shouldn't need a helmet when among friends, which is >what we should be on this list. Huh? Sorry to break this to you, but we are not "friends" on this list. I don't know any of you. None of you, to my knowledge, have ever met me. We don't discuss sports or our kids or college or anything else "friends" would discuss. Here's my friendship test, Tom. Can I borrow a hundred dollars? My "friends" would lend it to me. No, we are just people on a mailing list with, for the most part, a single common interest. You're taking this *way* too seriously, Tom.
