KB,
The questions you raised are indeed of essence. Your point that when APRC
stalwarts engage in guttersnipe tactics, there is a general silence from the
"management" is a general character malaise amongst the "management". It is
true that "management" only gets involved if the compliments are returned and
always an Ayatollah would
clamber out of the woodwork to "discipline" the subscriber returning the
guttersnipe compliments. Similarly, when "Jobe" attacked you this morning by
calling you vulgar, none intervened to "discipline" him. Where is the sense
of fairness here? Had you returned his compliments, rest assured an Ayatollah
would have cropped up and tell you off. Brother, something awfully
conspiratorial is going on here. The whiff of the stench gets stronger each
time these brouhaha come along.
I join you in counselling Prof not to sign off; the war has yet to be won and
we need all hands on deck. After all, we need to send a message to that
filthy animal and biological mishap in Kaninlai that: WE AIN'T NO QUITTERS!
Finally, those who think that because we gladly jump into the gutter with
APRC stalwarts, we always act thus are mistaken. We engage them in a language
that they understand - the language of the gutter. Period. Some of us are
decent, law abiding people who know decorum and live it in our private lives.
The argument to jump into the gutter with the APRC is straight forward: if
you are being stabbed with a knife, you don't use your hands to stab back;
you get a knife and return the compliments. I hope certain people get that
into their heads.
