crusade

[Henry Musikar]

If I spit on you in private and then tell the world after you complain in
public, it's anybody's business. Rhaendra's messages, public or private, are
pure poison, the kind of stuff that is going to ruin the USA. I hear the
jackboots when people start being intolerant of even the voicing of moderate
viewpoints.

Nothing troll-like about the occasional reminder that when any particular
person repeatedly communicates in a fashion that can hardly cause any
response but a flame-war or people dropping off a list, that such a person
is defined as a troll and that, while reasonable people may disagree with
someone so much that they can't stand reading what that person writes,
reasonable people don't have to change the internet channel, but can, in
fact, filter content. We have already lost some of our best contributors due
to the inability of other, ruder contributor's shouting-down of their
speech.

People don't have to let the list be hijacked by fundamentalists, American
or otherwise.

God bless the world.

arne made it public.  Your calling rhaendra a troll is very troll-like
indeed.
