Guest guest Posted August 8, 2001 Report Share Posted August 8, 2001 As I've said before, if you get a DUI and are found guilty, a court can sentence you to a year's attendance at MADD meetings. Or six months of twice-weekly blood tests. Or a year as an honorary pallbearer at funerals of people killed by drunk drivers. That's if, of course, these don't violate the Eighth Amendment. If you're convicted, as long as your constitutional rights aren't violated, the courts can "coerce" you into whatever they deem fitting. Or, you can do the time. --Mona-- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2001 Report Share Posted August 8, 2001 One more time. My comments, to this point, have not been anti-LSR they've been Anti-Mona. You and her have been attempting to distort that into some form of indictment of LSR by the list as a whole. That's ridiculous. My initial comment to her has been explained a few times to her and she chooses to ignore it in favor of her " This List Hates LSR Theory " while at the same time insisting I shouldn't ignore her explanation of her original comment which I still believe was done with divisive intent and not a mere welcome as she claims. An opinion that I think has been born out by her subsequent postings and generalized indictments concerning the list and it's members. My response didn't come out of thin air Steve. It was precipitated by what " I " still consider to be a " very odd " post from her. ------Original Message----- -From: Steve Snyder -And it's comments like your's that intensify my view that this grup is -anti-LSR.

Even Pete said just a little bit ago that some comments by certain members of this group demonstrate a certain amount of paranoia. And I'd say that started with the former Beloved Leader's comments of resignation about two weeks ago.

I have yet to hear a decent explanation of this paranoia people are talking about irregardless of what Pete has to say on the subject. When Mona mentioned it, it seemed to be in reference to a few of the former members now members in exile and what some of us may believe to be their various intentions. The very fact that one is definitely lurking and both have been kicked off the list only to return with different email addys and are now sending emails to this list members off list tends to point in the direction reverse paranoia.
