At this point, the post has barely anything to do with Joni anymore, and shame on you for getting so persnikety about technicalities and attemting to make me feel like I'd done something wrong, Vince.
People like myself who may have belonged to the full list at one time, but have had their fill of the tiresome political meanderings that others mistakenly believe we all should be subjected to, wish to avoid this sort of dialogue completely; it breeds contempt... If that were not the truth, I wouldn't have changed my subsciber status to begin with. I know I'm not alone. I had typed up a real storm, but I've decided to keep it short.. see, I'm already getting sucked in. I use this list as a supplement to a rather serious hobby that has become a major component of my short 33 years. When it becomes about other people's politics, things get blown out of proportion, feelings get hurt...people write things they don't really mean...in short, something pleasant and cool turns into something unpleasant and irritating. Suddenly, reading your JMDL mail gets you all worked up into a frothy lather about subject matters completely irrelevant to what brought you here to begin with. I'm certainly not trying to stifle worthwhile intellectual discussion and debate...it's simply not what I come HERE for. I come HERE to talk about Joni Mitchell. And I CERTAINLY shouldn't have to put up with this sort of thing: "I quite agree but since all of you use Mitchell as a forum for your politics and personal ambitions you shouldnt be judgemental of someone at least trying to invoke a dialogue that is more than the horse shit you just sent" Drawing borderlines and establishing boundaries are two very different things. Let's keep our priorities in order, shall we?
