Hello Bruce,
-> Nice piece of descriptive writing, Frank. It conjured up
-> powerful and compelling images.
->
-> But it was uncalled for. It would have been quite
-> sufficient for your argument to note that atrocities occur.
-> Had you thought it absolutely necessary to elaborate, I
-> suggest it would have sufficed to note that beheadings and
-> mutilations took place. You went out of your way to startle
-> your readers with a disturbingly graphic description of
-> these atrocities.
I agree completely with your analysis of Mr. Topping's post. However,
the guidelines for this echo clearly ask that you refrain from
performing moderator type duties and leave them to myself and the
Sysop's. Such responses to inappropriate posts are never on topic in
this forum. I am more than happy to receive comments about them via
netmail or e-mail, however (as another participant in this echo did send
me netmail about the very message in question).
I have just posted a copy of the Educator Guidelines in the echo today.
Since you seem to be new to this forum, perhaps you were not familiar
with them. Review them, and if you have any questions, please let me
know.
