- Well, thank goodness the kill fill didn't compile (needed to alter some
- permissions on a subdirectory because of a filesys mask in effect):
-
- If you can't take the heat, Walter, stay out of the kitchen. I've asked
- you, both publicly and privately, certain questions. You have not
- deemed them worthy of response, but instead engage in ad hominem attacks
- at will.
-
- If you'd like to supply some serious answers to my queries, please do
- so. If, however, you just want a target for your pathetic little
- blatherings (sorry, I'm tired of "blubbering"), find someone else.
-
- A dialogue, no matter the topic, needs two participants. When simple
- questions or statements did not work, I tried to reach the only way it
- appeared possible -- yet no matter the tack I used, you've resembled
- a child holding their hands over their ears and screaming "blah,
- blah, blah" at the tops of their lungs so they do not have to hear
- anyone else. I originally thought you were interested in a discussion
- of the issues surrounding Amendment 2, as perceived by many. Instead,
- you've shown that you simply want an audience for your temper tantrums.
-
- You've just lost part of that audience, Walter.
-
- Asking serious questions, and repeatedly being told I'm "blubbering",
- does not engender me to expect academic responses to those academic
- questions.
-
- To soc.motss:
- =============
-
- I apologize for wasting my fellow motss'ers time, bandwidth, and
- disc space in trying to speak rationally with Walter. My own words
- have been overheated, so I'll (try to) not post any further in
- response to him.
