Oh. I can see how you might be confused. Let me explain: When someone's
being a really egregious idiot, I don't take the time to identify them
when I quote them.
Actually, I dipped randomly into the ongoing thread, to get an idea of the
discussion and the first thing I read is this. I must say that we've
developed some awfully strange habits on this list. Anybody got some
guidelines handy to slap some people with.
Actually I feel that we should make a lot more guidelines. Pages worth of
them. That way the bundle people can be zonked with is a lot thicker. Much
nicer to hit people over the head with a nice large bundle of paper. Can
somebody actually calculate the optimum energy transfer effect on impact
with a head in relation to the bundled amount of guidelines we'd need to
get some civilisation back into our most heated discussions? We'll assume
the use of 80 gram paper perhaps? ;o)

continue the mental journey back to the civilisation we left to follow
this detour.
Hymn time:
Let Us Oft Speak Kind Words (232)
Text: Joseph L. Townsend
Music: Ebenezer Beesley
Let us oft speak kind words to each other
At home or where'er we may be;
Like the warblings of birds on the heather,
The tones will be welcome and free.
They'll gladden the heart that's repining,
Give courage and hope from above,
And where the dark clouds hide the shining,
Let in the bright sunlight of love.
Chorus
Oh, the kind words we give shall in memory live
And sunshine forever impart.
Let us oft speak kind words to each other;
Kind words are sweet tones of the heart.
Like the sunbeams of morn on the mountains,
The soul they awake to good cheer;
Like the murmur of cool, pleasant fountains,
They fall in sweet cadences near.
Let's oft, then, in kindly toned voices,
Our mutual friendship renew,
Till heart meets with heart and rejoices
In friendship that ever is true.
[Chorus]
-- Ronn! :)
