HEY! GET IT SRAIGHT! Wizard called NO ONE a neo-nazi. I did not call, but
strongly implied that Lickness was affiliated with a group I think are
neo-nazis--I was not explicit.
Wizard, in her wizdom, saw fit to post a PRIVATE message to teh group.
That's how all ths started.. Maks may be many things, some of which may be
described by using some of those forbidde n names, but in this case
wshe is innocent of your mistaken charges.
If you have a problem with it, deal with me OFF GROUP, where the whole thing
began. (See how dirty tricks can backfire Wiz?)
As far as dehumanization goes, little is more dehumanizing than placing
billions of miles of wire, plastic and other electronic gear between you and
another. The act of using this email group to attempt communicating with
others is dehumanizing. It especially so when the participants don't bother
to READ the emails carefully and make egregious errors in interpretation as
you did.
