[soc.men] To Persons Anonymous

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.

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.
