the mutiny is nearly complete...
i have noticed a conspicuous lack of commentary from don.
seeing as it was quite transparently obvious that his booting
of mr dickson was solely due to don being the target of what
he thought was abusive, and that things had gotten FAR more
ugly amongst others on the "old" list, i should not really
be surprised. it was actually not very abusive, and as i said,
it was not nearly as nasty as some previous "heated discussions".
so it came down to:
go ahead and piss on each other all you want, but if some
overspray touches me, you are outta here...
it's really quite shameless.
just my belated 2 cents [though not really worth even that].

I had decided to leave, regardless. Clay's email invite came just in time.
As Don has said, it's his group, he can do what he wants. I seem to remember him talking differently when the group was first set up on Yahoo.
I should feel a bit guilty for my flippant remark starting off the whole thing, but I don't. It's not like I haven't chucked silly hand grenades over the transom before (to paraphrase someone else), and he should have realized it.
I also was somewhat serious when I said we should all be as rude as possible most of the time. That way everyone is used to being insulted, so any harsh words don't stand out as much.
Hey, it could work.
Welcome to everyone who's moved into the new building. Let's make it something interesting and enjoyable. And when the place occasionally catches fire, we can all stand around and piss on it until it's out!
