}John, list

        Yes, that's the right suggestion! Instead of personally 'not being
offended' - and after all, someone can say they are not offended but
can act very offended..but the thing to do is: not give offense.

        As you say, why should people post on a list if they might be
belittled or insulted?

 After I wrote the previous line in my response to Jerry, 
 I added the following: 
 > We should also remember that Peirce list has an international 
 > audience, including students and people from other professions 
 > who would like to learn more about Peirce and his writings. 
 >  
 > Many of them would be reluctant to ask questions if there's 
 > a threat of being insulted or belittled. 
 >  
 > Instead of saying that we shouldn't take offense, I believe 
 > that we should think of the audience and avoid giving offense. 
 But the filter didn't like some of those words.
