  Re: stepping up to the dead horse (was some other title)
 
(...) I suppose you could say that-- and I'd like to think that nobody would discriminate based on such things, but it's information that sometimes helps me get a handle on who I'm talking to. Often before responding to someone on Lugnet that I (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: "Some pigs are more equal than other pigs"
 
(...) On it's surface, Larry's post doesn't seem to be a personal attack nor an invasion of privacy. If it was to you, he apologized which in my opinion is probably the best course action for a unintended offense. -Orion (20 years ago, 22-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: "Some pigs are more equal than other pigs"
 
(...) I really don't see the need to turn this into a debate too however, directly from the policy update "personal attacks, i.e. bringing more heat than light to a discussion... also known as attacking the person, not the position". Directly from (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: who does chris think he is?
 
(...) I agree with your reasoning, words aren't bad. It's all contextual. You can bet we're talking with people whose posts are inappropriate, trigger words or not. It's just that the ones with the f-bomb and such are only the most obvious. The (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  Re: "fired"?
 
(...) Maybe I'm not reading this right--you were fired for being a member of LUGNET?! I hope I'm just misunderstanding the sentence, because that seems pretty harsh. (20 years ago, 22-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: "Some pigs are more equal than other pigs"
 
(...) I am flabbergasted by this thread. I have no animosity toward Ken. I made a joke, nothing more, and it was directed at whoever wrote the copy, as I pretty clearly stated then. It fell flat, apparently, because no one else riffed on it, but oh (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: "Some pigs are more equal than other pigs"
 
(...) And, whereas I agree with you that no one is immune to theToS of LUGNET, please show where Larry violated that in the specific wording of his post. Again, just becaouse you don't like what was said, doesn't mean what was said violates the ToS. (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.admin.terms)
 
  Re: stepping up to the dead horse (was some other title)
 
Hello! (...) I get the impression you are all for stigmas, are you? (I react quite sensitively on things like that, as in the country where - by chance - I was born, in the past stigmas were being used to discriminate people in the most nefarious (...)

  Re: "Some pigs are more equal than other pigs"
 
(...) Sorry but being an administrator means you should be a step above the crowd in terms of you behavior. Just be cause you are taking the moment off doesn’t mean the standards should be lowered. To (Loosely) quote the Policy update “They are not (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jan-05, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.admin.terms)
