You know, you are the one flaming here. If you are so angry you are
willing to strike out at anyone who disagrees with you, no matter their
purpose, then we really have no possible way of communicating on this
matter. you have your mind made up, and that is obviously that.
But I'm not going to back off on this one. I stated that I don't like
outing, or threatened outing, when Scns do it, and I don't like it when
critics do it. No difference.
You apparently want to shut up any possible way of dialogue with any
'fessed Scn member, and that is your problem. You aren't being very
discriminating in your targets.
But this is Usenet, do carry on. As will I.
