As long as it's not true, it's OK. How do you know if Jim had a crack problem? Maybe he took it personally. And typing and grammer mistakes? Well those would be true, wouldn't they? So it's Ok for us to be childish and criticize people's weaknesses in that area too? K. Let's all keep that in mind. Keep a diary of everyone's bios, so you don't accidentally criticize them for something that's TRUE when you're throwing insults around.

The only time I saw him get shit on was specifically related to Linux. And since that was the subject matter of the discussion I had no issue with it. Any more than I did the Windoze, etc. I took it for what it was worth to me and responded accordingly. I never called him for hitting me below the belt on it nor did I think that anyone hit him below the belt because he was talking shit and couldn't back it up. Another example: If someone tells the list that they'd been paralyzed in a car accident a few years back and some time later gets into a heated discussion on the merits of stereo versus monophonic sound, I wouldn't consider comments akin to "oh go jump in a lake. Oh.. Wait... You can't. Nevermind" at all acceptable and would react the same way. It's a blindsided attack based on personal information shared with the list. He was wrong. Period. Any way you slice it. >> To unsubscribe or change your preferences for the Creed-Discuss list, visit: http://www.winduplist.com/ls/discuss/form.asp
