Sinister: heh with the double standards already

[Jeff Burke]

Hey now.
Can't we all get along?
Seriously tho' I value this list cause the people on it are diverse and from 
all over the world but at the same time intelligent and well spoken. Isabel, 
I wish you'd reconsider. Honey is not targeting you. Infact from following 
the thread I'd say the honey's message was meant to inform the person/people 
taking less intellectual more personal shots *at* you.

Let's remember everyone when we joined this list there were certain things 
we agreed to, trying to keep on topic, not filling everyone's inboxes with 
one word responses or personal attacks. Any issue that people feel 
passionately about is bound to cause a stir and I'm all for talking about it 
as long as we don't take the thug way out and start neener neenering people 
we don't agree with. Napster is about music and appropiate for discussion 
but not personal attacks. Honey let's us get  away with alot based on the 
guidelines, especially along the lines of off topic topics....

okay. my reconciliation attempts are over.

a yank who's not felt persecuted for yankness except for in a pub in Earl's 
Court where two londoners were complaining about how bad 'mericans were, 
loud, obnoxious, cocky and boorish. My friend and I sitting at the table 
right beside them thought this was funny since a) we were sitting right next 
to them and b) they didn't know we were americans....so how loud could we 
have been.
just goes to show....stereotypes are bad. that might be a national norm but 
it's not *everyone*
