Once again let me EMPHASIZE NO ONE WAS CRITICIZING YOU OR ANDREW!!!!! Harro made an reasonable effort to get us, the LIST MEMBERS to police ourselves! How on earth does that amount to whinging or criticism of how the LIST is being run?! You guys have ment
ioned it time and again. Harro saved you the effort of doing it again. People come and go on the LIST and people being people, need to be reminded over and over again. I know you guys are all too familiar with that facet of human behaviour.
He did not complain to you guys about how the LIST was being run. He asked the LIST members to be more aware of what they are doing. THAT'S ALL. End of story. Don't blow his comments out of proportion and don't abuse a respected and valuable member of the
LIST. It's entirely unfair on your part to treat him this way. And if what I have just said amounts to whinging then so be it. Your definition must be broad: anything you don't like to hear ...valid or not.
Make no mistake, I certainly am being critical of the way you and Andrew have reacted in this case. You guys aren't the only ones who get annoyed and while you do operate the LIST, differing opinions should be allowed to be aired without fear of been be
aten down by you. Or being BOUNCED from the LIST.
Awhile back Andrew criticized someone for being racist. Turns out he was wrong and to his great credit he publicly apologized. I don't care about the whingers who email you privately, but I for one won't see you publicly abuse Harro for what he said. If A
ndrew can stand up against perceived racism, then I'm here to call you on your behaviour in this case. It has been inexcusable.
And as for your smart ass "good boy" comment, why don't YOU be a good MAN and and try and read and understand what people are saying before you go flying off the handle.
Since this could be my last posting, anyone out there who wishes to have further contact with me can access my email address via the RSG or ANGFA NA.
If this turns out to be the last straw for the LIST operators, then I apologize to the other members. But you know what? As good as this thing is, it will start up again. There is too much interest for it to cease.
