I never wonder; I am blunt at times, yes, but I could really give less
of a worry about it. It's a public newsgroup, and people are free to
read it, respond to it, or ignore it. I seriously believe too many
people take this 'hobby' way too seriously, as if it is their only life
and joy (and in all seriousness, some people do take this as their
*only* life and joy). Someone is critical of your post? Don't rise up
and say something against it, because we all know that protesting or
voicing your opinion will only get you shouted down in today's society.

PeTA, Greenpeace, Cindy Sheehan and others know this all too well. It's
a society that we are in that disapproves of those who question others
(and authority) that is a clear marker we are heading down the wrong
path.

The only ones who rudely respond to me (the only one who was
constructive in their feedback was HoustonFreeways and Chris) were the
ones who do not bother to put any substance in their post. Like
yourself and Steve. Other than that, I am on good relations with all
the other people, and those who have met me have no qualms against me.

Perhaps if I met you, we could slug it out and see who is the victor :O)
