Subject: The value of each individual


Most of us on the list expect that our views will be seriously listened to 
and disagreed with in a way that reflects that those engaging in the 
conversation value a diversity of views and appreciate that we are 
engaging in dialogue.  Based on the message below, tgs thinks he can 
not only pick and choose who he engages in conversation with, but that 
that conversation, even when open to the list, can become a 
destructive "trashing" session, complete with insults, expletives, and any 
racist(why not?if Ann were black), sexist remarks that come to mind.  I 
think the list should respond to this.
