End quote. So the game gets played Pickle’s way or he takes his ball and goes home? Some people might describe that as blackmail or extortion. But it is finally a clear indication of why the nannies can’t control his abusive behavior. And why Dan has washed his hands of any responsibility for Pickle’s insistence on being abusive and on hawking the FAQ when this community relies on the exchange of information, even redundant and trivial information. Let him take his badly written columns and go. No one should hold this community – or LEM – hostage. It is an outrage that he would even make the threat, let alone follow through. LEM is the power source. Pickle is the parasite. If he removes his work then his ego suffers. Call his bluff. No one in the Mac community will ever forgive him for such a childish act. He’ll be a pariah. This is my last message. I had hoped for some future where these lists weren’t dominated by a single ego with a pathological need to answer every question. Where newbies were tutored instead of being abused. Where information was given and not held hostage. But that was before I realized that Pickle was victimizing you. There’s nothing anyone can do for you Dan. You have to do it yourself this time. I guess your recent defense of him can now be seen in a clearer light. <g> __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
