I fully knew that y'all would understand where I was coming from with my examples of 'lewd acts' that he took so personally. It never occurred to me that someone on this list would not 'get it', and certainly not that he'd think it a personal attack. But he was new, and not of the same mindset that we are used to, from years of associating in person AND virtually. ********* cr: while i agree with your sentiment, you did not make a personal attack. you were using a similitude to make your point... i can read your email and plainly asertain your meaning. ********* Take from this what you will... just be aware. Not everyone on this list has been around for a while and 'gets' it. This little slugfest may have convinced a few they need to lurk a little deeper into the corners. I hope not. -DaveD ******** cr: i hope not as well. if the people have been lurking for any amount of time they will have discerned that thread as an anomaly. by and large the folks that post on this list are compassionate people, i think. ****** Baltwash-burning@egroups.com \o/ http://www.burningman.com/ / \ http://www.playadelfuego.org/ ----------to get OFF THIS RIDE send a blank email to: baltwash-burning-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com Your use of Yahoo!
