BK>>  Before Hardegree, no flames.

 JM> According to you. Not the most reliable source.

 JM>  I went back about a month and a
 BK>>  half in the echo before he chimed in. No flames. I offered that
 BK>>  opportunity to anyone who was interested,

 JM> G big surprise.

 You had the chance, you chose not to take it.

 BK>>  I offered the proof

 JM> You offered some evidence not proof.

 What I have now, my archives, are evidence. The files from the
 month and a half I went back, from a source not under my
 control, and all the messages of that period, constitute proof.

 BK>>  a year ago. Now I can repost my archives,
 BK>>  but they do not include msgs that don't involve me. You had the
 BK>>  chance. If you ignored it that's your failure, not mine.

 JM> That all may be true Bob, But that doesn't mean you proved
 JM> anything.

 Back then I offered the proof. Now I can offer evidence. You had
 your chance.

K>>>  That is a measure of you, not me.

 JM>>> Yep, I can deal with it , You can't. You whine line a
 JM>>> picked on play ground kid about the flamers rather that
 JM>>> deal with it.

 BK>>  You do realize that is a non-sensical sentence, don't you?

 JM> I can see why you might think so, but as usual you would be
 JM> wrong.

 Only from the point of view of those who communicate in
 non-sensical sentences.

 BK>>  And you do realize you have chosen to be a flamer instead of a
 BK>>  serious contributor, don't you?

 JM> When there is something that needs serious contribution
 JM> from me I will reply seriously. So far NOTHING you have
 JM> posted qualifies.

 Only if you have been asleep.

 BK>>>>>>  disagree. I would rather see the echo die than
turn into a flame
 BK>>>>>>  echo.

 JM>>>>> Well if debate is any example, you got your wish.

 BK>>>>  Lots of echos have slow times, esp in summer. Almost everything
 BK>>>>  in this echo is flame. If a few of us left this echo would die
 BK>>>>  practically overnight.

 JM>>> Please Please give it a try.

 BK>>  Ok, here's the deal.

 JM> No deal. You said if few of us (I assume you mean left win
 JM> loonies) left the echo would die practically overnight.
 JM> So as my black friend says, do what you do.

 No, I mean the decent people who like to communicate without
 flames. I did not make a commitment for the others, but I will
 try to get them to go along if you will get the rightwingnuts go
 go along.

 BK>>  I'll be watching for the right wingnuts to stop flaming.

 JM> I think you will be waiting fro a long time.

 Oh, you can bet on that.

 JM> Seems to me you are under the misconception, that flaming
 JM> is a bad thing.

 Seems to me you are under the misconception that flaming is not
 a bad thing.

 JM>>> Yeah but calling him an arrogant prick seemed just to much.

 BK>>  Yeah, that would put him on your level.

 JM> Oh, he's still armature  compared to me when I want to be.
 JM> Problem is he seemed that way all the time.

 IOW, anyone who insists on you following the rules qualifies.
