Sinister: and you wonder why are we f*cked up as a race

[m. paisley]

Excuse me, but did you just write about your desire to physically bully 
another list member? Over e-mail?

Sure looks like it to me. And you attacked him on a personal level as 
well...

What the hell. Paul shared a part of his experience, and I felt privileged 
to read it. I don't want a flame war (although that hostile e-mail looked 
like it could be a first step), but there's something wrong when one member 
feels threatened by another, just because one goes by a label that the other 
refuses. Paulo's post talked about twee musical groups in a very respectful 
way, and concerned his own life, on which he is the best authority. Mark's 
post responded not to the twee genre topic, but was just an attack on Paulo 
himself.

It's the mentality of shaky self-image where being called a name like "twee" 
is like being called "gay" and the best way to prove that you're not is 
evidently to go find someone who does represent that quality and beat them 
up.

Without their vigilant self-obsession about how aggressive and vicious they 
can make themselves, what do bullies have to write about?
