Nav,

Thanks for the thoughtful post.

I've been posting here since before Neal bothered to get a system capable
of posting, and I will be here long after he leaves permenantly,
hopefully sooner rather than later, but either way. While I appreciate
your interest, it seems to me that your comments should be directed
toward those who continually make themselves into buffoons. No, I'm not
immune to this, and will certainly consider this for future posts.

I cannot control what others think of me. I haven't changed my positions,
and I don't lie nor steal. That cannot be said of others. A couple of
these people, Neal included, have been so far out of the mainstream with
their posts and other activities, that their ISPs shut them down for a
time. Neal, specifically, has wasted people's time and money in his
childish attempt to intimidate me, to shut me up. It hasn't work, and
will never work.

Actually, I've not been that "upset" by the barbs. There's mostly nothing
new in them. Clearly, Neal is quite upset. Others, such as Katy, directed
their anger at me, when they know or should know that I was not the one
to blame. Clearly, they're upset, but again, there's not much I can do
about it.

As to taking a break from posting, I've taken many breaks. But, people
like Neal continue their ridiculous behavior break or not. One thing I
will not do is shut up when faced with the language they use. This
newsgroup is not my whole life, unlike Neal, who has no life, which is
obvious. I find it to be an interesting forum, occasionally learn
something new, occasionally contribute something useful, and enjoy the
give and take. Some of the people are outstanding, including some I've
met and some I hope to meet someday.

Jonathan

Dear Jonathan

I know you can post pretty much what you like but I wish you would
review your posts of late and reflect on how you appear to others. I
know that you have been upset by the barbs of some, but a man can take
such weak arrows and laugh as yet more fly at his back. I therefore
entreat you to stop posting for a day or two, gather your thoughts and
pick fights you can win with style. Just reducing all interaction to the
same set of replies just bores everyone, reduces their opinion of you as
a person and does you, personally, no good either.

Cheers MC
