I had never, so far as I knew, ever had a cross word with you,
hell I've never even met you, when you ripped off a vicious
personal attack. I was surprised and I didn't know what to think.
You've repeated the performance on a couple of occasions since.
Therein lies your hypocrisy.

ok, Ken, we have a semantics issue here.
By personal attacks, I was referring to attacks taking a low road(ie: attacks
dealing with an individual's personal life,
health, relatives,etc). I realize perfectly well that exchanges between
individuals here, or anyplace, will involve pointing a single person out. My
"attacks" upon you were an expression of my dismay on the seemingly ignorant
manner you choose to display when attacking others. Yes, I feel you behave like
a complete asshole on here. Yes, I believe you behavior influences the choices
of others to be here. Further,
I feel you are a perfect example of the kind of Usenet participant who talks
one way online, and hasn't the balls to do the same in person. I would be more
than happy to say so to your face, should I encounter you.
All this said, you were far from the source of my original post here. I was
responding to a seeming avalanche of poor interpersonal communication.
hypocrisy my ass,
Tom
