To those who find this list boring. . .

[Guest guest]

You are at a party or a gathering at someone's invitation and you

decide you find the gathering to be a bore, what is the polite thing

to do:

1. Strike a spoon against at glass to get everyone's attention and

announce, " If find this party and the conversations here boring, so

I'm leaving. Good bye "

or.

2. Gather your jacket and things, thank the host privately and quietly

leave.

Kathleen Anne, I am afraid you are not too much less the ass than

those you criticize in your farewell post. Don't let the door hit you

on the way out.

To fellow list members:

If any of you do not like how the discussions on this list takes its

often exasperating turns, I am sorry I have disappointed you. Please

know that I work hard to keep the discussions on track and with

decorum. There is a tough straddling of the line between moderating

for civility and censorship and it is usually not easy to steer the

discussion without offending one person or another.

Know that there are 2200 members to this list and only a few handful

actually post. Those who do do not represent the opinions of the rest

of the 2200. They only speak for themselves.

If you do not like the results of my efforts at hosting this list,

then you are welcome to leave. I am truly sorry to see you go and I

will refund your price of admission. However, you may not use my own

list to publicly bash me or this list in general. I find it rude and

offensive.

> Lenny,

> Thank for this list. But latey it has served as a forum of vitriolic

personal attacks by people I consider a part of my community. Rather

than lose respect for people who use this forum to justify their

politics I am going to go no-mail until this polital season is over.

Politics of hate will not get our message heard or our children

healed. Again thank you and I will be back in a few months. By the way

I will be voting for McCain as one of those Democrats for McCain. Just

to show that this vitriole has not changed minds but has turned this

list in the wrong direction.

set of opportunities for fulfillment.
