Hello Bob!

10 Jun 10 21:15, you wrote to me:

 BK>>>  Why do you think providing information is the same as providing

Because the written message forum, be it here on Fidonet, on a message
board on a web site, comments section on a sports, news, financial site and
of course the newsgroups, is the most non-personal form of communication,
even with the presence of emoticons.

For example, your writing style as in what you say, how you say it and what
your politics are, are infuriating, I tend to view you with that in mind
and think that you are hardheaded, obtuse or whatever. However in person or
via voice, I am most certain that this perception is less accurate.

You will disagree with my assessment of the method of communication being
the poorest venue, because disagreeing with everyone is what you do best..
;-) (again an observed perception in this particular venue)

What you deem as most desirable is that everything be as portrayed in
Mister Roger's neighborhood and that everyone vote hyphen-d.

What Sauer (and W.C.) have done is provide information that can be used
against them, in many causes some not very plausible, in Sauers case, he
revealed his real first name and then reveals his own discomfort with it.

By extension, thy prey provided the buttons to press and identified the
precise buttons to push.

*If* Sauer had not told anyone:

1. His real first name
2. That he is on welfare
3. That he quit the USAF

Among other things..

He would not have *ever* received the grief he has, as pertaining to the
buttons he provided.

Human nature is what it is Bob, and life isnt Mister Rogers neighborhood.

 RC>> Sauer did.

 BK>  Mine is on my website. Not linked, but there.

Whatever for?
