The anger and hatred in your posting concerns me deeply. I'm not here concerned with how Mark will view your hatred. Mark will answer a Mark chooses. But you have made me, the reader, feel violated and abused. Almost raped. You seem to have no productive reason for what you've done. What you wrote will have an effect on everyone who reads it. Those who subscribe to these newsgroups have been given no choice about reading at least the first part of your posting. In this way, you have made all of us a part of your anger, and you have taken your anger out on us all. I was going to ask you what you have gained by this, but in writing this posting I think I've already found the answer. You needed to express your anger and frustration somewhere that would allow you to see the response to your action. But still keep you safe from the repercussions that must surely follow. You have seemingly found the perfect way to accomplish this. Like most criminals, you value anonymity highly. The content of your postig isn't aimed at one person, and your hatred isn't for one human being. You wanted to hurt - "get back at" - all the subscribers to these newsgroups. Somewhere, sometime, something posted has set your mind on edge. Perhaps it was something Mark wrote which sent you over the brink this time. It's happened before though, hasn't it? And that time it wasn't Mark who set you off, but someone else. And next time it will be still another person who will hurt you and cause you to lash out. It won't matter who it is, because you have enough hatred in you for everyone. Wherever you are located, I hope there are city, county or state health facilities. I urge you to get help. If the next time your rage is expressed in physical ways, you could seriously injure someone, including yourself. Please, please, find someone to talk with before this happens. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Lauren Brown -- CBM >>Amiga Technical Support<< UUCP ...{allegra,caip,ihnp4,seismo}!cbmvax!lauren PHONE 215-431-9100 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

All of this seems to be much ado about nothing other than an unusually ill-mannered and juvenile posting. It certainly was offensive but hardly any more offensive than a number of Mark's personal attacks on others. Which is not to excuse either one of them.
