Certainly I understand I have no authority in your NG.  But, the TOS does
have an authority in your NG.  The comments were crossposted to a mainstream
part of LUGNET too.  While I would still find the post distasteful, I would
have less of a problem with it were it kept here.

Community policing is a good thing, I strongly believe this.  It is up to
each and every upstanding member of LUGNET to see to it that the environment
here stays kid-friendly and pleasant.  My original post was anything but
impolite.  The responses from the RTLToronto gang (spare your post here)
have been anything but polite.  I stand by my words and actions.

I have said my piece.  Out of respect, and a desire for the issue to die, I
will not discuss this matter further in your newsgroup.  Thanks for engaging
me rationally, I'm certainly more willing to hear out a post like this than
ones laiden with juvinile complaints or insults.
