To all : it seems I must make one last statement in regards to the

first thing out of his mouth was at the Bible thumpers had done it,
and yet he could offer no proof! As far as I'm concerned that blew
his credibility right there, and it had nothing to do with the
bigotry of the statement that I was initially upset at! If it was
just a bigotry statement, I might have just turned the other cheek as
someone said. It was a totally unsubstantiated and false statement
offered with no proof and he kept on uttering the same garbage that
he has kept up all the time he makes his presence known in this user
group! Why only one other person caught this I will never understand,
but if he can make false, unsubstantiated comments on something with
no proof, one must ask themselves what else is unsubstantiated? Once
I send this message, I will then also unsubscribed myself, because I
can be sure of what is said in this users group, either! :-(
John,
Of course you must do as you please but I think the list will suffer
more than James Knott will by your action. Rest assured you were not
alone in having picked up on the unsubstantiated nature of his
statement. I just chose to ignore it because you can't argue with
people like that any more than you can argue with zealots of any
stripe. I've just put him on my junk list so I won't see any more of
his messages.
Please reconsider.

To Harold Fuchs: I thank you for this statement, and the action you have
taken regarding the individual in question! That makes you only the
third person to understand what I was trying to say! You would think,
for all the reaction that did NOT happen, that I was writing in
something other than English or American, depending on your point of
view! I will take what you say here as a good point and I hope many
others are taking the same action as you have! Ironically, I really
understand and appreciate the ground rules of the usergroup, but he
seemed to FLAUNT those rules by VIOLATING them, as often as he could,
with his bigotry! Again, I say thanks and will see if I really want to
rejoin, but, rest assured I am very favorably inclined to do so! I
really do need the help, on different parts of Open Office, from time to
time, although I only use it for personnal use, as I am retired and over
65, now! :-) :-)
