Oh Christ...That's just too snotty to be taken lightly, Scott. I
wonder, did you come here to discourage people from contributing? If
you've ever truly understood Salinger--and I don't mean his
vocabulary--I don't think you'd post something like that here. You
sound like Carl Luce and Lane put together when you say things like
that.
I admit that I have occassionally posted unnecessarily condescending
messages, although not deliberately, and I have made a conscious effort
not to do so, especially since I received some posts that told me
exactly how condescension made some subscribers--who had been here for
awhile before I--unhappy. But since you arrived, your resume has been
steadily filling with deliberately condescending posts.
I have enjoyed many of your posts, mostly because I disagree with them
entirely, and healthy argument is a good way to learn. But please keep
your very witty, insulting remarks to yourself. Please.
If anyone disagrees with me, and would like to see more posts like
Scottie's above example in the future, I beg you to make that known. I
for one am bored of it.
Brendan
