1) I don't call people I disagree with
barking mad, unless they really
are barking mad. I believe this is the first time in a few months I've
called anyone barking mad, and in the intervening time there have been
plenty of people with whom I've had disagreements. I think most people
on this list would agree that Mr Jack and Naree is "barking mad".
I disagree.
Yes, but you're not most people...
3) Mr. Jack
& Naree's most recent message is a bit daft ("looks like
he failed"). If he had the sense to check, he would see that that
message was not, in fact, a response to his "troll test" e-mail but
rather to his earlier e-mail which was written in all-caps. And, if it
takes two to troll, why is just about everybody else on this list
calling him a troll? Does that mean that they're all trolls too? And,
of course, this isn't a response to him, but a note to you which is
related to but not in response to his message. And if anyone so
wishes, I invite them to inform Mr Macdaddy that the troll test, from
now on, applies to him as well: if he IS a troll, he'll make another
post to this or related threads; if he ISN'T a troll, he won't.
Who else agrees that he's a troll?
Lars Aronsson and Ray Santoinge do, at least as far as I know, and I'd
be very surprised if nobody else did.
