Subject: Threats and warnings


Threats and warnings are part of the range of normal argument.

They risk escalating the conflict but they may sometimes be necessary.

Threats of the form "If you call me a "shit", I will call you a "shit"
thrice over" don't usually seem to help the problem.

Kevin's remarks, below, however, have  the merit of being brief,
and clear. While I would not myself formally 
propose such an action on this uncensored list, IMO 
Kevin's point is one of many, in which 
subscribers have sought to make clear to Elsequin, his 
approach is unacceptable. 

I hope Elsequin will see it to his (?) advantage to understand their
point of view.
