Please take your own advice now, and rest your case. Like it or not (I
think
most people do like it), haskell-cafe has norms of behaviour that make it different to many pl mailing lists. Your sarky comments would have gone unnoticed if they had been accompanied with something constructive. Name calling is out. Paul: and who the bloody hell are you to tell me what's in or out? If you want the matter to rest then shut up yourself. I'm getting sick of you hypocrites who allow yourselves the audacity to attack me, totally gratuitously, yet when I try to defend myself you take the moral high ground. Tell me, why did you remove Jonathan Cast's message? Is he too big for you? Why don't you tell all the other people who have been busy attacking me to modify their language? Are you afraid of upsetting the Haskell Cafe Mafia? Well, guess what, you damn thugs, I 'aint taking this lying down. You come back with more and I'll give you even more!
I snipped Jonathan's message just because I was commenting on the tone of your response. Sorry if you think I presented your reply out of context, but my point is that I don't think there is any need for this in any context here. I do have a right to say that, even as someone who hardly ever posts but prefers to read the list...it's owned by everybody. This isn't the same thing as censorship and you'll notice I said norms, not rules of behaviour. No one's going to stop you making yourself look silly if you insist on doing it. As for Jonathan being too big for me, erm, who is he again? :-) Paul: So, now I am silly! I'd still prefer that to a coward and a hypocrite
