Say what??? So because Jim isn't a recovering crack addict, but instead a person who doesn't use crack, it was okay for Keith to make his comments? Sure... makes total sense now. I'm sorry Debbi, but I think you might need to put this into some better wording, because as it looks right now, you're saying that it's okay for Keith to say false statements about Jim (which were in fact VERY major personal attacks), but it's not alright for Jim to, after 2 weeks of getting the same abuse, lash back in retaliation. I'm pretty sure that's not the point you were shooting for, but that's about all I can get from the statement. > He was totally out of line with his comment to Keith. Period. And > "eye for an eye" is a festering pile of bullshit too, but I'm not in the > mood for that discussion right now. I won't use the "eye for an eye"... but can I ask why you didn't chime in when Keith made his 2 seperate statements about Jim using Crack? Or about Kevin and the "Linux butt buddies" or the "Linux circle jerk crew"? None of those comments were called for... they were all way out of line. But still, you let them slide through, them jump right in when a retaliation is made. Jen used the term "double standard". That seems to be coming to my mind to. It's okay for some, but not for others, right? ¤]\[][G}{T§TÖ®]v[¤ (who's currently suprised as hell that his last post actually went through without a need for trimming) > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Creed Discussion List > > [mailto:CREED-DISCUSS@WINDUPLIST.COM] On Behalf Of Lvablemm@CS.COM > > Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2001 10:30 AM > > To: CREED-DISCUSS@WINDUPLIST.COM > > Subject: Re: NCR: ABSOLUTELY STUNNED > > > > > > I have to agree with you, Tara.
