Care to point out any instances? If I have been so rude, I sincerely
apologize. I have at times grown exasperated with Aimee Smith's
off-the-handle mien, Wally's vulgarity and Presley Cannaday's strange
sense of ethics, but to my knowledge I have never been ad hominem.
Please don't confuse strong rhetoric and sarcasm with personal attacks.
I shall try to refrain from sarcasm (an expression of my exasperation)
in the future.
Also, I agree that Aimee's rants (and my responses) would be much more
appropriate for "spa-discuss" as opposed to "mit-talk;" however, I
cannot allow her immoral views to go unchallenged. If she can post
emails in order to help organize leftist activities without protest
from list members, then I am justified in responding.
Regards,
Sourav
