Steve, if you don't stop the personal insults I'm going to scorch
your sorry ass.

Gawd-damn, I've been part of this list for over a year now and you're
the first person who's been unable to respect the no-flaming
tradition of the group.

If this is an example of how you act on committees, it is damned
easy to see why the folks in charge of the fate of the condor
would chose a path in opposition to your desires. Sheesh.

I said I'm not an expert on this issue. But, I am an expert
in the field identification of assholes, and I recall being
told by many that you're the type specimen. I do believe
that perhaps they are right.

Point of fact, I never said that you or your committee didn't
favor a middle ground. I said (now read this, do they really let
people with reading comprehension problems teach college students?):

It seemed to me that the people in charge felt they had only two
choices, bring them all in or leave them all out.

That was my impression as a young man living up here in Oregon
getting information second hand from the press. I explained
why I didn't like either of the choices it appeared were being
considered.

I was describing how I felt about the situation as I understood it
at the time. Not how you felt. I have no idea how you felt.
I have no idea if the situation, as I understood it from second-hand
sources, matched my understanding or not.

Got it?

Now, I asked once before and will ask once again - will you lay
off the name calling?

Oh, BTW - I didn't bother reading the rest of your post. I don't
pay much attention to folks who insist on being boorish and
insulting, so I jumped into the editor as soon as I got to your
snide "Bishop Baccus" remark and deleted all that followed.

Further posts from the "Hideously Hysterical Hitlerian Herman"
will be ignored until he learns some manners.
