Well, my reasoning is this: I don't read every part of Lugnet every day.  In
fact, I rarely read (or am even interested in) lugnet.general or lugnet.admin
or off-topic debate. <SNIP>Anyway, I don't see any of the posts on Lugnet as
being off limits for further discussion.  If people thought they are, then
they should be cancelled!

Right, nothing is off limits.  At the same time, people are expected to post
INFORMED statements showing that they have read most of the thread and at
least understand the basic issue under discussion.  You did neither, and in
general that is considered bad netiquette.

Well, you are plain wrong.  I did read all of the thread (thoa I can't say that
I have read every thread where Scott and Larry have squared off).  I almost
always read entire threads, because reading one message most of the time does
not give much context at all.  Did I understand the issue?  I think I did, and
that is all that matters.  Apparently, you think I did not, but that is your
opinion.  Rather, you would prefer to spout it as fact.

As far as netiquette is concerned, you seem to be referring to your own
personal set of rules.  I don't think I have been rude to anyone, including
you.  I don't think I have ever posted inflammatory remarks to this body, but
rather my thought out opinions.  The fact that you do not agree with them, or
their timing does not make them inflammatory.


If you don't care enough to be informed, please consider not reading and not
posting in this newsgroup -- especially on topics you are almost guaranteed
to know little about.

My only knowledge comes from reading the posts on Lugnet.  I do not know any of
the parties personally.  So, if by your guarantee, you mean that I can't know
what is going on from the posts, then maybe those people shouldn't be posting
their war on Lugnet.  (I believe that was my original opinion.)  Do I care to
be informed?  Of course.  Am I going to email or call everyone involved
personally before I post a message to a newsgroup?  Be serious.  I have
opinions based on what is posted here.  That is how this discussion is run.
How else can it exist?

Or maybe you didn't mean that.  Maybe you were simply being inflammatory
yourself.  I have suspected that from the beginning.  I will give you the
benefit of the doubt here, because it can be difficult to tell via posts and
email.  But if there is a netiquette violation, then I suspect your posts could
qualify.

Alfred: I apologize if I misunderstood your degree of knowledge on the subjects under discussion -- it seems to me that your last two posts contradict each other at least in part, but that doesn't matter, I'll just take your word for what you do and (...)
