I must have come off completely wrong. I am not a hater. I do not hate furries, I do not hate homosexuals, or anybody else for that matter, I may find the practice of dressing up as an animal kind of silly, but that doesn't mean I don't think other people should be free to do so. My apologies if I had offended anyone with my previous remarks.

Soooooo.... after country fair and burning man, AND promoting open source at each.... I don't feel so guilty in NOT attending the weekly meetings. I just hope I don't go turning on open-minded people to open source, only to have them feel unwelcomed if/when they attempt to attend a meeting. Has EUGLUG become a good ol' boys club?? FWIW, I was not offended by Mr. O's first post, but I was, byt erock's response, which went well beyond the basic first-bad-taste of "us" and "them". So, if such heartfelt yet trivial differences are indeed present in our group, can we PLEASE stay on topic??? Maybe there should be a "haters" list? And, for anyone wishing *I* would stop being off-topic:? I grew up around a lot of subtle hatred, a lot of bigotry, and some of it was organized.? Not unline rural Oregon.? So this IS worth being called out.? I thought we were over this crap. ben On 9/13/07, Mr O <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: You're probably missing the point. It's all in good humor as the subject came up at recent meetings as well as talking about the folks who dress up as comic characters. This week we'll be talking about people who dress up and play Magic. FWIW, I'm not into being cool. If it is any lower than 78 degrees I'm downright cold.
