Jester sez:

ALl I can say about ANY of the CRAP that's been coming through the list
lately is that when it comes to Jules, you either TAKE HIM OF LEAVE HIM.
----
After giving it much thought, I've decided that I would indeed miss Jules 
at this point.
------
Face it, a majority of his statements are nor corroborated, hence they may
not necessarily be "officially" credible.  So what.
----
Exactly.  Besides, who corroborates anything said on this list?
-----
 The only reason
anyone seems to be bitching about Jules is because his statements on this
list and in Lineland, and his reports of Chrissie's statements have for
their subject matter the "pet" author of this mailing list.
----
I'm guilty of that line of thinking also.  TRP is not a god, he sure as 
shit doesn't need any of us to defend him...and who knows, maybe he really 
IS an asshole!!!  If so, so what...it's what's between the covers that 
counts.
-----
  So be it.  This
is an old argument which began when Jules first entered our little
community, and it's only snowballed into endless flamewars that are way too
personal and defamatory, imho.
---
On the other hand, the "personal" and "defamatory" flames are quite funny 
on slow days.  If Jules were gone, so would the flames.
