I'm the nut? Insanus omnis furere credit ceteros<http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=Insanus+omnis+furere+credit+ceteros&btnG=Search> .
If I sent you a personal note telling you "to shut the fuck up," I don't remember. Is it nasty to say, "to shut the fuck up?" I do remember people telling Ross to "to shut the fuck up." Please forward me a copy of the note. Maybe I did... but I never threatened your physical person. For my own purposes, there can only be one sheriff at anyone time. You don't need spell check, but I do think you need [a] reality check. On 1/20/07, S. Sharrieff Ali <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Bruce you are a complete nut and a coward who hides behind electronic communication. I'll see you around the community or I'll see you in court. As for the spelling mistake..take it up with spell-check. So...you never sent me an e-mail saying I should shut the F up blah..blah..blah? If it were true what you were saying about the Listserv sheriff then the word should be "sheriffs".

Nasty private emails? Hardly.Please forward to the community any nasty private notes I have sent you. I doubt you will because there are none. Unless you can produce a nasty private email, then your accusation is libelous. As for the "List-serve Sheriff," I intend that to describe anyone who attempts to police this forum and hold them accountable to an arbitrary, unwritten, standard. I have never said that anyone in particular is "the" or "a" sheriff. It's more of a concept. I'll let people decide for themselves. As for threats of physical violence - well. let's just say, I find this link to be useful: http://www.haltabuse.org/resources/laws/pennsylvania.shtml Amending Title 18 (Crimes and Offenses) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes ... for terroristic threats, for harassment ... by communication (e) Definition.--As used in this section, the term "communicates" means conveys in person or by written or electronic means including telephone, electronic mail, Internet, facsimile, telex and similar transmissions. Now, I don't think anyone really means anyone else harm here ... but I am archiving this last thread for my own protection. bga P.S. Did you mean revel, or reveal? On 1/20/07, S.
