Re: [atlarge-discuss] tone of debate...



You dummy Jeffrey,

Does your culture, the Texas gun-wielding, tobacca
chewing, cowboy hat wearing inbreeds, consider the
language you used to describe Esther as vulgar?

I remind you:

I think it would.  First of all, why don't you get a
life. Stop posting so often to this list.  You
comments are often useless and nothing more than "I
agree" posts.

If you can't manage to find some other hobby to occupy
your time.  Then at least use civil language.  It's
your vulgar comments that started all this.  

Ever since you weren't nominated for the election you
have been spewing your hatred across this list.  It's
not too hard to understand why NOT ONE PERSON
nominated you for the Icannatlarge election.  You are
a FAKE and even if I could ignore that - you have
nothing to say!  NOthing! Just "I agree", "Right on"
or "Well that's a good point".  Quit filling my
mailbox with crap!

You have even been warned by the list administrator. 
Why don't you grow up?

Ken.
