My Offlist Policy (as if you cared)

More than one P-lister has suggested I risk missing out on valuable
interaction w/ a "no offlist discussion" policy, which is probably true.
For that reason I'll try to clarify/modify my personal "policy" as I
responded to someone earlier today:
>>I appreciate all you say here, but my "policy" is born out of a perceived
>>need for protection from "unstable" p-listers. As you know, from time to
>>time hostile characters, sometimes anonymous, sometimes rumoured to be
>>"multiple personalities." Some listers think they own this list and try
>>to control other's posts.
I don't mean to rule out positive offlist interaction, but when someone has
a "problem" with my posts, I want to keep it onlist. Other than that, the
only thing I'm wary of are wolves in sheep clothing, which I guess I'll
hazard on a trial and error basis.
Thanks for your comments. I'm really not that hostile nor paranoid, just
trying to steer clear of the bullshit.<<
