No, you're simply being informed that this group has lasted as long as it has (at least 13 years, I think?) because the vast majority of members agree to be polite when discussing. You can choose not to be, but if your goal in life is to simply be contrary and any guidelines at all suggested by others are bad simply because they are suggested by others, then many members of this group will just ignore you. If that's "imposing their will", then so be it. But I'm done trying to persuade you. I thought you might have something interesting to say, but you're too busy telling everyone they're ignorant, wrong, in love with the government, or just stupid to bother telling anyone why your point of view has any merit, brief glimpses to the contrary aside. As I said in an earlier post, I'm not telling you what to do. I'm just saying that your actions have consequences, and so far the consequence is to make me think that you're arrogant and uncouth. Like I said, your loss if you don't want to talk on a level. *plonk* Charlie Killfile Plus One Maru. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
