[net.women] I goofed, I'm sorry

edward@ukma.UUCP (Edward C. Bennett) (06/13/85)

	Recently I posted a followup to an article in the 'women and
toilet paper' discussion. Due to my failure to pay attention to what
newsgroups the article was going to, a messege with some VERY inappropiate
language got posted to net.women. My article was intended for net.flame,
and net.flame only. I would never post such language to net.women.

	Due to my oversight, many people were offended by my posting
and I have been repeatedly flamed.

	I'm sorry, it was an accident.

I guess I am missing something here.  I didn't read the article your
refering to.  But my natural response is, if it's good (bad?) enough
for one newsgroup it sholud be the same for all.  Why do so many people
on the net feel it's OK to offend others only in designated areas of the
net?  Either you can offend people everywhere or you shouldn't do it
anywhere.

Not really, Confused old buddy.  Net.flame is the one and only place for the
kind of stuff that Scott posted.  Netiquette is unknown on that one.  If you
ever want a good laugh, though, you ought to read it.  Just don't post
unless you enjoy being degraded.
