================================================ Subject: Re: Observations From: "Creed - 7M3 - Live" To: Date: Mon 15 Apr 2002 22:36:08 -0400 ================================================ Henry, I am surprised that the list still reflects the hostility that it seems not to be able to relinquish. I put the initial reason for chasing off someone that signed up for the list, after they were off the list for a short period. The person was an active poster during the list's philosophical phase. When he returned and asked for opinions on Texas and if it is still independent, because of treaties, wars and failure to sign documents and things. He was called a member of the KKK. He is completely athiestic in view and doesn't seem to have any racial tendacies.... Anyway, the incident repelled him from the list. Later on, there was a debate about Microsoft operating systems spurred by my hearing that Microsoft was planning on stopping the support for Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT4 and Windows ME. Also that Microsoft XP was going to be a subscription OS. Where you paid a monthly fee for the system. It was a long and bloody debate time. And a debate that completely alienated me from Microsoft products. After that, there was still the lingering taste for blood on the list. The list was never really a list dedicated to discussions about Creed. There was always a lot of "coffee talk" and some insightful debates, without the killer attitudes. .... Anyway, I believe that some cannot see fit to just speak in a more social tone of discussion. I hope that it can soften a lot with the tone. About your comments about Creed's type of music and not expecting such a hateful environment. I can understand your viewpoint. I really do not enjoy being bitter toward others either. Regarding your attraction to Creed's music. I hope that you can share with the list, your personal feelings and inspirations, with Creed's producted music.
