I hope I made myself clear, because I don't like to be named as inhuman by • the
fellow Lugneters whom I respected. And please condsider me with my whole
presence here, and believe this is a completely different case for me, as I
already mentioned several times before.

Selçuk, Mike, and everyone, I'm sorry for any name-calling. I was angry and
upset and I didn't realise how much it came out like a flame. I'm sure than
we can forget this, and continue to "play well" together. I might have been
angry towards some of you, but that doesn't mean I harbour any dislike for
anyone. We can all be friends here.


Both of us judged
him, you decided that he is a lost soul seeking for salvation, I decided • that
he is a large diameter *** ****. That's it. And believe me, I'm after my
decision, just as you. Maybe only difference is that, I'm not calling names • for
who decided otherwise.

Well, actually there's another, crucial difference. The very thing that made
me angry and disappointed with many people here.

You know what it says on the very front of LUGNET? The thing that the world
reads when they first visit us?

"LUGNET ... has been called "the friendliest place on the Internet.""

Matthew may have been very rude, but your treatment (and many other peoples'
treatment) of him is downright UNFRIENDLY, and makes a complete mockery of
this fundamental statement about LUGNET. How do you feel about that?

My treatment of Matthew, on the other hand, has been nothing but friendly,
even as I have pointed out his immaturity to him, and been firm about his
apologising, and in accepting his apology (cautiously, I'm not a fool). If
more people had been friendly in their reaction, this whole sorry mess could
have been avoided. This flame war began, spread, and still lingers because
of UNFRIENDLINESS. But it's not too late.

Please consider helping me uphold one of the best characteristics of our
community.

Thank you,

Thanks for the reply Paul. I was being afraid of there would not be one. And of course be sure that there was no hard feelings, and we of course friends just as before. But I still want to make clear something. For me "friendliest" doesn't mean (...) (24 years ago, 21-Oct-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Sorry about making you such dissapointed and angry, but please consider that you are not the only one. Not mad at you of course, and not at any other people who accepted his apologies. You just tried to make your point and I don't have any (...) (24 years ago, 20-Oct-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
