Unless you happen to agree with them, of course.
You don't think we're N***'s do you???


Actually, I didn't even noticed Clint before four or five days ago. If he
posted to this newsgroup prior to that, he was just another one of the many
doing so. To be honest, I don't read most of the messages here. Unless the
subject line catches my eye, I routinely highlight large groups of messages
and mark them as read in my newsreader. Once that happens, I rarely see
those messages again since my newsreader is set to not list messages I've
read (or marked as read). The only way to see them again would be as a
result in a newgroup search.

But, to answer your question, I don't agree with the use of pejoratives or
uncomplimentary terms to describe anybody. Well, I might make an exception
with Larry, but that would be a very rare exception. I strongly believe we
have to get past this code debate and move on to more productive matters.
Throwing around nasty remarks isn't going to help do that.

Perhaps I'm too liberal for this discussion. I don't agree with the very
concept of a superior ham. We're all individuals with unique skills,
knowledge, and experience, to bring to the table, none of those superior or
inferior to that offered by others.
