================================================ Subject: Re: Hi all!!! From: "Tara" To: Date: Wed 4 Jul 2001 01:17:59 -0400 ================================================ Jon- I normally try to keep any disagreements I have with people in private, but in this case, I'll make an exception. Let me list the reasons I'm irritated with you. 1. You jumped on NightStorm's case because he helped answer a question that someone who's new to the list asked. You say he could have just sent the link... however, I know that when I ask a question through e-mail, I prefer to receive the answer the same way, rather than having to go search for the related information on a webpage. Much more convenient when everything is right there in the e-mail. 2. You're comparing people who remind others of the rules to Nazis and Hitler? Let's see... on one hand, we have a group of people who mention the rules when they're broken, because obviously not everyone has read them... on the other hand, we have people who had millions of people KILLED because they didn't like their ethnicity. Oh yeah, I see the similarities there. I find it very interesting that you get all bent out of shape about people posting the rules, when you're the one who was so gung-ho for "rules" during the Napster debate. 3. You keep jumping in on conversations which have nothing to do with you, with your negative attitude, provoking fights. Twice in the last hour or so you've responded to posts that weren't directed at you with your negativity, and I'm getting a little sick of it. (Or, to quote you, "That makes me sad. :(" Grow up, or go get yourself a prescription for Prozac, if so many trivial things in life make you sad). 4. You have personally attacked both my fiance and my son, and that just straight out pisses me off. If you know anything at all about women, you should know that you DO NOT attack their children... there's no easier way to anger a woman than that. (At least not that I know of). And technically, you attacked me also, with your "genetics" comment. 5. You're praying for people who neither requested nor want your prayers. That's very insulting to me, because I view it as your forcing your beliefs upon others. *Just let me make a virgin sacrifice to the great god of tree frogs on Jon's behalf... then I'll chant incantations around the fire to free him of his negativity* 6. You, the person who professes Christianity and Godliness, are probably the most antagonistic person on this list. I have been on this list for almost three years, and I have NEVER seen someone stir up so much trouble as you have. I also have never been this irritated by anyone on this list, not even during the political debates. Why don't you follow the Christian ideals that you claim to believe in so strongly, rather than making it your life's goal to make everyone on this list dislike you? I was actually feeling sorry for you, because it seems that so many people dislike you... but with your last few posts, I've come to my senses. 7. You have more or less forced me into making this post. Most people on this list will be able to tell you that I am not normally the type of person to be argumentative, nor do I provoke fights. I'm more likely to try to keep the peace than to disturb it, and I almost always try to give people the benefit of the doubt. I'm normally a very patient person; however, I have completely lost my patience with you. If I were a religious person, I would get down on my knees and pray that you'll unsubscribe... but that would be making things too easy on everyone, wouldn't it? I'm done... I apologize for not taking this private, to those of you I may have upset (excluding Jon), but I felt that these things needed to be said out in the open. I know of several other people who have a problem with Jon, and my hope is that in reading this, he will realize what a pest he's making of himself here. And Jon... please don't attack me in private e-mail, as you've done to other people. Nothing you can say, short of "You're right and I apologize" will make me change my mind, so save your energy and don't bother trying to refute my opinions. (And please note the word "Opinions").
