No. Do you want me to?

Which were the ones I wanted you to read again, to re-evaluate your over-reaction to them. Why would I quote your own replies to you at a moment I don't want to say anything about them?

Indeed not. You are suggesting I should have. Why do you want that?

I simply quoted the IMO relevant messages as they were. I reject the accusation of carefully leaving out anything.

No need to get nasty. You are under some attack at the moment, and it is clear that you feel strongly about that. Take a bath (or whatever makes you feel easy), and when you are done: reread it with a lock on the send button.
You will see that there were just very few people who really engaged in name-calling, others were trying to explain to you why the name-callers were annoyed. Now ask yourself: why would somebody do that?
When you see that there are also messages from people who are really trying to help you getting along here you can unlock that button. Received on Sun Feb 26 2006 - 01:01:22 CET
