You really want to get into this, Christine? 1. "i typically keep my personal annoyances from sinister". Except in this case. Which you do *after* my apology. Which you do after Idles posts to stick up for a friend. That's low. Have you been bottling it up? 2. Look at the FAQ. "Shout outs", where you are spending list time and bandwith communicating (but not saying anything, of course) to a few people is not in the spirit of things. 3. While I'm at it, FAQ no. 17 - "He/she's really winding me up, I'm going to slag them off something rotten... DO NOT FLAME PEOPLE OR BE ABUSIVE! I take this very seriously and will act accordingly." no. 17 continues: "This of course doesn't mean you can't express strong feelings strongly - in fact it's mandatory. But don't attack people, attack things". Which, Christine, is what I did. I APOLOGISED, both publicly and to Paul, for what I said to him, particularly how I said it. It doesn't mean I've changed my mind about the negativity of affecting tweeness (though I praise *sensitivity* to the heavens), but that's over and done with. One other thing - are you still friends with Isabel Lark? I'd hate to criticise someone for who their friends are; after all, it's terrible when you get blacklisted because you hang around with people who say things like this: http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/200101/msg00348.html - check it out, Christine. It might be illuminating. Perhaps after 6 years (happy 6th birthday, Sinister, btw - though some people seem to think they joined the list well before that, which is odd, don't you think?) you'd have figured out that picking fights isn't on. What's the point, Christine? Still, good to see your true colours. ________________________________________________________________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends?
