I spend an embarrassing amount of time in gay chat rooms.* When
there's an argument the boys get pretty vicious. The things they tend
to say most when riled (besides saying "Well, you have AIDS, you'll
be dead soon anyway." Really.) are "You're just angry because I
turned you down," "I'm getting lots of private messages agreeing with
me" and "Stop sending me nasty, threatening private messages, you
troll."** I imagine this juvenilia happens in the straight world as
well.

**Troll has a different--but kind of related--meaning to gay men.

Here is the point of it all. I am not comfortable sending private mail
to the list..I just think it is a can of worms. The answer to Bruce's
question is..yes..it is inappropriate to write someone privately or
on-list
an e-mail with harsh statements including the F-word. Bruce knows he
wrote
to me privately many times with harsh language and insults. Mostly I
don't
reply.
I am really too busy now..and this is all set up as a distraction from
real
issues.
I think your right..at this point we all need to shut the F-up.
