This, of course from someone who's email address is from a company setting
up their own universe based on aw technology, with at least 3 basic spelling
mistakes on their homepage, and 5 links that don't work, and others which go
to page currently under construction:))

Would love it Eep if you posted in this way more often, humorous, you got
your point across, and no one was offended! :-)

I don't think people look at you as an enemy, on the contrary. But some of us saw how this would end; engaging in battle with eep seldom results in anything good. Let him be, let him make useful internet sites, and ignore him in the newsgroups if you don't like to be abused. It's that simple.
Keep up posting useful information here, it's appreciated :-)

So, when you saw things not going in your way, you outed it? I betcha that
if the vote was towards Eep getting banned, you would've kept it going.
I'm sorry to say Facter, but there's no way of getting out of this one.
Every action you take is just another dig into your grave, whether good or
bad. Fortunately, I'm not so dramatical that i would leave the newsgroup or
lose respect for you. I understand in pride and mistakes. *glows* Seriously,
you're best to just let the posting die down and just stick to new helpful
topics all together.
THE biggest mistake that you made: You made us jump into that "third rail"
of the newsgroup. Eep may like to go head-first into a topic, but as Eep
already knows, we don't. :) And to throw us into a decision of such a
weighty and controversial (to the point of almost taboo) issue so quickly
was enough to make your brain melt.

I dunno, going through all previous posts and cutting and pasting all the
rude and insultery comments that Eep has made to him seems kinda
time-consuming. :) hehe.

If he didn't ignore me, then this whole thing could've been stoped before the vote.

Eh, I have the twit filtered. Regardless, SW Chris insulted me for no reason while I tend to give the reason(s) why I'm insulting someone. If you're going to flame, at least have the decency to explain why. If people expect me to tone things down, they will have to as well; it works both ways...
