Hi Lou,
I'm not a part of this dialogue but feel duty-bound to point out one of my own post-headings,
since it seems very directive, esp in contrast to your Donna post.
It says
Broaden your argument Old School.The last thing I want to do is call Dr. Bob's attention to my use of language, since I pride myself on its provocative, hard boiled detective leanings, but in the interest of fairness.
Dr. Bob has a formidable task in evaluating the attitudes behind the postings, it takes alot of reading between the lines. I personally don't get the civility thing, but I find the whole contretemps interesting. It's Dr. Bob's project, he calls the shots. But I've read every blocking archive and it's amazing what hasn't been blocked, compared to what's in the archives. At this point I figure I'm still collecting data, and don't know what it's all about.
Now if I was the blocking person I'd upbraid you for having called Dr. Bob sadistic. Name calling is easy to spot, no big debates needed, just hey, if it's libelous, take it out, it's libelous! What good does it do, anyway, saying something like that?
I hope you're not taking this wrong. My therapist keeps telling me I have to learn to give the devil his due in favor of a higher value, so I remain cognizant of what's expected here, while preparing myself mentally for the inevitable comeuppance.
Sorry if you've heard all this before, just felt like explaining myself.
take care,
trouble
