================================================ Subject: Jim's behavior.. By Jim From: "creed -7m3 - live" To: Date: Wed 29 Aug 2001 21:22:56 -0400 ================================================ In reference to the whole list interactions that were on the threads that most people deleted. I did say something that was way out of character. Something that I am unpleased with myself about. There really isn't any excuse to make such statements. But constant badgering can lead people into doing out of character things. Anyway, the comments are past tense. I can only appologize (and did) to the person that the comment was made to. A public appology to all of those that read the remark is also due. So I appologize to those on the list that I offended also. Those that have noted my comments (from the past). Have probably noticed that I even refrain from the usually acceptable four letter words. The issues that led to my ill behavior were the same ones that kept that thread going for such a long period of time. I regret the length of time that the subject took out of conversations. Though the issues have helped me decide about business practices and other aspects of the company that was so heavily discussed. The main thing that I dislike about some conversations that take place on the list are the personal attacks that have been levied. There are too many instances regarding personal attacks and they need to be halted from within the list environment. It should be fair game to refute an issue. But, it is absolutely horrible to attack anothers character. (I know that I didn't initialize the attacks. But fell right into the mindset.)- Basically, if you have to attack the person. You are emotional and not rational. In the time that I was absent from the list. I had time to do other things. Like spending some time with my family and do things around the house. Though, there is a possibility that I never signed off the list. I signed off the list and am at a loss to what conversations were vented. peace, Jim -- A real friend isn't someone you use once and then throw away.
