So, are you saying that anybody who criticizes something you say more
than three times, you will try to hound off of Usenet by any means
possible? Kinda sounds like that, from reading the web page you
linked, and claim to have authored. Which sounds very much like
bullying to me. If that's not what you mean, you'd probably better
do some rewriting, or you'll find the few sane people who bother to
read it lining up against you rather than with you.

Here's another thought: Shut up! If you think you are assisting Douglas,
you're quite mistaken, as you're simply adding fuel to the fire, which
could go back to smoldering state if everyone would just stfu.

I'm not too interested in just sitting here while another bully
publishes his manifesto and sets up shop. It's possible that the
manifesto, as originally published, has given me a false impression, so
I've posted suggesting the need for clarification if that's the case.

Your response of "shut up" does not make me feel too good about that
interpretation, though.

I'm not sure what "Douglas" you're referring to, but I have no special
fondness for anybody of that name in this group, and I'm not responding
primarily to defend a friend. I'm responding just to what was in the
manifesto and the post pointing at it -- I've been reading rather
selectively, and mostly skipping the cat-fights, so I don't know who's
done what to whom.
