Hi Goncalo, On Fri, 21 Jan 2005, at 04:11:56 [GMT +0000] (which was 9:11 PM where I live) you wrote: GF> Noun: demagog GF> 1. An orator who appeals to the passions and prejudices of his audience
Aren't semantics great? Merriam Webster: Noun: a leader who makes use of popular prejudices and false claims and promises in order to gain power The next time you decide to hang a characterization on someone, you might want to make sure you actually know what it is your calling them. One of the reasons for list rule "B.3". Isn't it really neat how all these rules seem to define a polite list. Now if people just abided by them, then we wouldn't need moderators. GF> I meant it because of your concern with people paying for dl'ed GF> info. We're talking about a few extra bytes, not a huge amount of GF> data. Yeah, it's kinda like that whole straw that broke the camels back thing. Really, the only reason I brought it up as because he said not to. If you really care about it take a look at the archives. There's a pretty long thread concerning the whole subject and it was even participated in by those people who paid by the byte/KB. GF> Quoting Dierk Haasis (1949378823.20050118105056): GF> "As I always say, smileys don't make it better." :)) It wasn't meant to be a nice message. When you jump on a moderator for making a moderatorial decision you're essentially saying the rules don't matter. In the long history of these lists, only one person has ever gotten banned. He didn't agree with the list rules either. We're still here, he's not. If you don't like the list rules, you can go elsewhere. There's many other lists that might cater more to your liking. You could probably even top-post if you really wanted to. -- Leif -:- TB Lists Moderator -:- PGP Key ID 0x7CD4926F Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.
