It's not like he questioned your ancestry or anything... Maybe you had
a bad day at the office?
Lot's of other reflectors and newsgroups have been completely ruined
by their patrons sliding into name-calling. This one has been
wonderfully refreshing by it's 99.99% lack of insults and baiting.
This reflector is *enriched* by hearing what everybody has to say,
even if some of it maybe needs some tweaking. Gives us all the chance
to pick up something new without emotional risk. If someone doesn't
post because they figure their (possibly uninformed) understanding
will get flamed, then we all loose.
I'd hate to see Towertalk turn into the usual usenet pre-teen
emotional vomit.
