It is interesting what some people find rude which does not seem rude to others. I suspect that a neutral observer would look at my posts during the last few weeks and judge that they are not at all rude. I have been asking some uncomfortable questions, but not making any obviously rude remarks.
John-- This time around, you've been much better. When you started here (late last Fall?) you were much worse.
The interesting thing is that the data do not support the claim that my posts make people less likely to communicate here. Rather, just the opposite. If you look at the volume of non-JW posts as a function of JW-posts to this list, there is a remarkably large positive correlation.
That doesn't really prove anything. For instance, a flame war would produce a large number of posts, but one could hardly call that communication. ---David _______________________________________________ http://mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com
