[WikiEN-l] No personal remarks, please (was: The Style Oppressors)

[Poor, Edmund W]

Jonathan,

If you are going to keep posting to this mailing list after being 
banned, at least try to avoid personal remarks, like, "You can 
have your Wikipedia. The world is passing you by."

You have the potential to change the world and make it a better 
place -- but working together harmoniously with others is key 
to making effective and worthy change.

Instead of comparing Jimmy to Nazis, why not compare yourself 
to some standard? I've been _nearly_ kicked off of three separate 
on-line communities (2 in my own church!!!) but I always took 
the time to figure out two essential factors:

1. How to avoid getting people so upset at me that they force 
me to leave;

2. How to get my points across without surrendering a major 
matter of principle.

Please, desist for a few weeks and think it over.

Ed Poor
