--- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, [EMAIL PROTECTED]:...How I Learned to Playback Surveillance Videos, and Why the Local Brouhaha over "Guido" is Silly by Comparison Dear friend, Doesn't it detract from your own claim of being harmed by words when you start out minimizing the same for others? 1. No. I made no claim of personal harm inflicted by words. My post was intended to stress the utility of video surveillance and the follow-up by police authorities. For me, it's not the words, but the intent, the tone and/or context in which they are uttered. In this case, the intent was to intimidate; the context, tampering with private property. 2. The operative phrase in my original was "by comparison." Cf.: My references to political thugs (the Nazi SA Brownshirts) and surveillance systems as an unexpected means of defense against political thugs. 3. See also my comments to Jack about the actual words and the Big Lie (Say it enough times and it becomes true) -- our politics being corrupted. No worries - I'll chalk it up to you being upset right now, and you should be. Initially, six days ago, I was upset by the prospect of a trespasser. By Friday, after accessing the videos, I was simply annoyed about the tampered merchandise and wanted a replacement. Now I'm thrilled that Detective D'Amico and UPS are on the trail of a troll. **************Get fantasy football with free live scoring. Sign up for FanHouse Fantasy Football today.
