[OT]Re: Unacceptable Behaviour of Mark Galbreath @ elections.state.md.us
Mark, Threats are self-perceived. And name calling behind a keyboard is quite the brave act. I've no issue with objective criticism of any technology. I do tire of inane and repetitive assertions of opinions based as fact. I prefer to code grounded upon something other than faith-based perceptions. And if your efforts are intended to be humorous, trust me you current career choice was a wise one. Carlos On Jun 30, 2005, at 7:30 AM, Mark Galbreath wrote: Carlos, this sounds like a threat.

I noticed Mark that you have changed your email address from your work one to a more "personal" one. No doubt in view of the comments made about your current position and how well you must be reflecting on your present employer. Still any future prospective employers can have the joy of reading your delightful missives via the wonder that is Google. As the saying goes; What goes around, comes around. All the best.

Well, IMO, the funny part of them is that 50% are accurate and valid. So, do we now ban people whose opinions do not match ours because they are "disruptive"? Great way to build up the community Niall - ban independent thought. Larry On 6/30/05, Brandon Goodin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > i find this thread massively humorous.

Re: Unacceptable Behaviour of Mark Galbreath @ elections.state.md.us
Niall, you'll get no debate from me that his posts are exactly as you describe them. I think the quotes you provide illustrate it perfectly well (and I myself replied to that comment about Indians a few days ago because it offended me, and I'm about the hardest guy to offend on the planet!). But... I would be against removing him from the list because I believe it sets a dangerous precedent. You know, the slippery slope and all... it would be too easy in the future to ban others for lesser offenses (and no matter how everyone says that would never happen, that's what everyone ALWAYS says when sch things are done for the first time). The only situation I can think of where I'd be OK with someone being removed is if they are actually spamming the list regularly. While he is annoying, obnoxious and inappropriate, I don't believe it rises to the level of spam. Besides that, you know as well as I do that banning a particular eMail address is all but useless if someone is intent on continually annoying the community like this. I doubt anyone wants to play cop and keep banning each new address such a person would go and sign up with. Just my opinion though. :) Frank Niall Pemberton wrote: Pretty much all of Mark Galbreath's posts to this mailing list are IMO either rude, obnoxious or irrelevant.
