I don't even aspire to better public behavior in this newsgroup.
AFAIC there are only a few here who deserve the best I have
to offer.

There's no need for me to be better than the worse participants
here, IMNSHO.

An actual gentleman behaves like one no matter what the behavior of others.
Personal ethics and standards dictate the behavior of the ethical person,
not the standards of others.

Your vile taunting of me as a supposed "downstairs" person

This comes from someone who accepts:

But of course, if one looks back at all in English literature
one finds humor at least as coarse hundreds of years ago.

Are you really that uneducated? Have you ever read Shakespeare or Chaucer or
better yet, Rochester? Rochester is tremendously witty, in both a risque and
a higher-flown vein. It escapes me how being familiar with such writers is
somehow evidence of inferiority.

Every time I'm about ready to reevaluate my position you've
managed to come out with something that makes me believe my
original assessment was correct.

Funny, that's exactly what happens with you. Every once in a while you
appear to be acting like a decent person.

I never claimed to be a gentleman, and have been quite clear
in explaining why it doesn't pay for me to be one in this
world,

Oh. Well it is a good thing that that is cleared up. Now for your
protestations of Victorian virtue...

Go back and look
at the very first posting in this ng in which you mentioned
me.

There's not a "lady" anywhere who would have written such
stuff,

Okay, here it is:

"Kurt, here's an idea: stop posting this kind of swipe at people and stick
to
actual discussion of diabetes issues. I've been reading this newsgroup for
about a month, and I can't tell who these supposed miscreants are. I see you
and "outsider" and maybe a couple others constantly posting about how there
is this coterie of followers who "dogpile" on anyone who disagrees with
them, but I never see it happening. All I see is a few people constantly
carping and making veiled references to mysterious groups of evil followers
instead of actually giving or discussing actual diabetes-related
information.

It gets really tiresome. I know, after many years on usenet, that groups
evolve to meet the needs of the participants and that it is largely futile
to complain about it. I also know that alt groups have a--apparently
deservedly--poor reputation. But what the heck.

I came here for information, and I have found that when I ask a question
certain people--trinkwasser and Julie Bove spring to mind--actually answer
it. How refreshing."

What is there in that that "no lady" would have said?
