Love-Hounds-request@EDDIE.MIT.EDU.UUCP (12/09/86)
Really-From: IED0DXM%UCLAMVS.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU He never thought it would come to this, but in spite of his sincere sympathy for the insulted party (Sue), IED feels that it would be a bad move to pressure Wicinski to leave. If popularity were grounds for removal from Love-Hounds, IED would not care to guess where he would be now. Certainly Wicinski is a foul-mouthed, mean-spirited jerkwad, and his remarks about Sue were totally unjustified. But he does add life to the L-H proceedings, and his use of language occasionally bears some modicum of low, subcultural aesthetic worth. IED enjoins Sue to reconsider, and fight fire with fire... Fire has always been an effective method of fumigation. -- Andrew Marvick
