Hello, Relata Refero! I thought people had stopped making this claim weeks ago. Care to step in and educate Risker as to the current party line?
If people stopped making the claim weeks ago, why do you have to keep repeating that fact over and over again now?
Because, contrary to today's lengthy statement to the contrary by Relata Refero, they are, in fact, still making that claim. In fact, Risker just made the claim again, a few posts up this thread. In the future please actually read the e-mails on the list before responding.
Yes, Jay, given that you attacked Alec at length and incoherently for making the claim, had it pointed out that he hadn't made that claim, and are now seizing on a statement, subsequently clarified, by someone completely different, completely justifies your hijacking this and several other threads.
Oh, and if you were genuinely interested in 'raising the level' of this list, as you claim in another thread, we would see above both genuine argument, and less phrases like 'party line' which imply suspicious, hypocritical collusion and which, for those of us who are old enough to remember what Party the party line in question refers to, is a deeply distressing choice of phrase.
I've re-read the last twenty emails you've sent, and I'm afraid none of them seeks compromise, responds directly rather than obliquely to a raised point, or manages to sound anything but snappy and snide. If you can't shape up or pause posting to recover your balance, I'm going to have to suggest that you're put on moderation.
Can we return to the actual subject under discussion now, please?
