I hate to say it, but that's YOUR shortcoming (ignoring whether what the other
person said was proof a shortcoming or not).
I also take things personally....for a while. Usually a very short while. Rarely
a very long time. I don't think there's any person on Lugnet I've been ticked off
at for a very long time, nor one I've been ticked off at for more than a week at
most in the entire Lugnet history.

Luckily, the time shouldn't be that much, and even if it were, it is CONSTRUCTIVE
time - any special filtering that Todd would have to put in place would be a
learning experience he could use in the future (in part or in whole) for other
groups.
I'm certainly for it, and might even read it from time to time. Heck, I might
even post. Most of my posts would be vents against TLG, not any particular
person, I would hope.
