Wow!!!! I wouldn't be posting a reply to flames that
were mailed to me, but since 2 were posted this *bear-baiter*
will make public his defense.
Jellinek, I talked of restrictions, not anything
being mandatory. Also the keywords in my article were *opinion*
and what I personally think, not fire and brimstone gospel.
Plain and simple. You even say this later in your flame:
>You're welcome to your opinions, for that is all
>they are.
I agree. Apparently you do not, as evidenced by having the need
to tell me something impolite to do with asparagus and broccoli.
And I do live and let live; just because one has opinions
(which everybody has) doesn't mean one condemns opposing
viewpoints. You feel sorry for me???? Actually I feel
sorry for you, if you get so worked up over somebody else's
thoughts I can't imagine how you cope with life's real problems.
Drabek, your flame is of a more civilized nature,
and you make some points that are well taken. Although you
somehow seem to think I'm *offended* by ideas other than my
own. Your article does solicit an apology however, for not using
the net as it was intended.
Sorry for trying your patience, Robert, since I
didn't submit something which *supported and gently dis-
cussed in a positive light* your views. Nothing is ever
gained when everyone shares a single *positive* viewpoint,
however.
