- Here is a copy of the post to which Susan is referring, large parts of it

- Anyone want to guess why she did not leave any of it in?

- OK, Patrick, you're asking for it: I will keep you informed, via e-mail,
- of each and every time my netserver misbehaves, and when it ceases
- misbehaving, until you e-mail me the one-word message, "Uncle" :-)

- PJN, glad he isn't as suspicious of other people as PLH.

- Even if I had not put in the smiley, I'm not sure the above could be
- construed as harassment by someone who has now put up with dozens of
- posts by her in which she calls me "PHoney" without so much as a
- peep in complaint, and who has been even more consistent than Patrick
- in being "suspicious" about my netserver failures--which some might
- construe as harassment and even consider an un-smileyd version of the
- above post to be a legitimate response to that.
-
- After all, to escape the harassment in such a hypothetical case, all
- Patrick would have to do is e-mail me the one-word message, "Uncle,"
- even before the harassment begins. I have no such option in the face
- of "Petey Honey" "PHoney" or offers by Keith Cochran to fist me.
-
- But then, Susan and Patrick are the two networkers who remind me most
- of playground bullies who scream bloody murder at the first sign of
- resistance from the ones they bully.

-
- PS A standard joke about playground bullies is to depict them as
- saying "Stop hitting my fist with your face." In the case of Keith,
- another person who is great at dishing it out and unable to take it,
- this could be revised to read, "Stop squeezing my fist with your
- intestine."
