I've said what i think on this list before, without putting all the tedious
qualifiers on it, only to have someone tell me, quote: "Don't tell me what
to fucking do."

Since i highly respect personal sovereignty, this criticism hits home.  I
know that i will either piss off person #1 when i just say what i think, or
piss off person #2 when i qualify my statements.  So since i'm damned either
way, i'd rather be damned on the side of respecting personal sovereignty.

I really wish people would be more tolerant of differing communication
styles, then maybe we'd see more people willing to express themselves on
this list when they don't have to stand up to alpha-male domination methods
like cursing and sarcasm.

Some folks just seem to be itching for a fight.  I'm just not likely to
fight back.  Sorry.  I wanna save it for the real fuckwads out there.  Like
the capitalists.

Actually i think it's fun to watch everyone bash the capitalist.  i don't
see much sense in it, but it is fun.

Also, basically, it seems you took my post personally, but i was just trying
to say to the list in general: ignore the troll.  You can just as easily
ignore me.  I'm used to it.

excellent!  everyone knows i'm distracting and divisive, but most people
don't catch on to how fucking inappropriate i am.  keen insight there.

look, it's no use being nice to these people.  just say what you bloody well
think and let the chips fly.  that's the real tradition around here.
