venting hurts people.
venting kills arabs in our community.
how bout a little self control ??
and perhaps some "appropriate" expression of
our frustration that the rest of the world isn't just
like me or how i'd like it to be.

I agree, Allen. My message, though, wants to say that people handle stuff differently. Some wish to post on NY, for example, others do not; some are tolerant of off-topic discussion in general, others less so and like that. I would hesitate to lump Gary in with, say, a pack of unruly Americans run amok. Gary is vociferous in his appeal for members of the list to stay perfectly on topic. The two are not the same.

I disagree with Gary wrote, I dislike his method, but I understand his position and realize that's just how it goes with some people, perhaps many people. It's called intolerance, not good from where I stand, but then I can be intolerant when I want, too. But the thing is, short of violence I don't think intolerance threatens the end of the world, or even this list.

Live and let live, I say.
