An open apology to most of you...
I would like to apologize to *most* of the members here on rfc for having
to read my responses to Sheldon's recent attacks. I find it impossible to sit back and accept his abuse without retaliation. Sheldon has exhibited this behavior toward me from the moment I began posting here. As a result, he was the sole resident of my killfile for several years. Like a fool, I removed him recently. What I will never understand is why any of you could accept his attacks on others and openly criticize those he attacks for retaliating. There is absolutely nothing sacrosanct about any of his contributions that justifies his vile behavior. He and those of you who obviously support his actions will now share company in my killfile permanently. It is, indeed, nice to know that the vast majority of people here are really quite wonderful! Thank you... -- Wayne Boatwright *¿* ____________________________________________ Give me a smart idiot over a stupid genius any day. Sam Goldwyn, 1882-1974 --- avast!

Hi Wayne--I'm pretty new to this forum, but from my limited time here,
I've realized that Sheldon is a piece of work. No need to apologize to me--you are quite within your rights to defend yourself. People who spew unprovoked hateful crap in a newsgroup operate at their own risk IMHO. Just don't let anyone really get to you, though--it gives that person way too much power over you. Have a great 4th! r3 |

Haven't had to time to read or post for a while - other more pressing
engagements. I haven't read this latest flame war, but just want to say, you, Wayne, are a sensible, involved and courteous poster and I always like what you write about cooking. Sheldon, I find strange and weird but my face just colours and I turn to the next respondent. I secretly wish he would disappear but suddenly he surprises and says something sane (not often I would grant). Sheryl has some sage advice to handle the situation. You're right though. this ng has some wonderful people and those are the ones we should be concentrating on.... Ok, that's my little soapbox speel. Cheers Bronwyn |

Wayne if you feel you must continue to talk about Sheldon, and your filtering of him... isn't he really still taking up too much space in your head? Stop talking about him, stop telling others to stop talking about him (or to him) and just let it die. That's MY advice. Goomba |

Okay, I felt I needed a break, but I'm stronger than I thought, and I'm not going to sit by while Wayne plays the friggin' martyr. For the second time in less than a month, Wayne has sent me nasty e-mails because his sick little brain interprets my refusal to take sides between Sheldon and him to be a betrayal of our friendship. I wrote back and told him not to write back to me anymore, and he did not honor that request. I deleted his second e-mail, unread. He is NOT a nice man, you guys. He's just playing the martyr card for all it's worth, and if you ask me, it's not worth much. > Sheldon, I find strange and > weird but my face just colours and I turn to the next respondent. I > secretly wish he would disappear but suddenly he surprises and says > something sane (not often I would grant). He's a colorful person, that's for sure. I don't feel the need to hate him because he goes off sometimes, though. I don't think there's anyone in this newsgroup who I hate. There are some that just don't warrant my time reading their posts, but I certainly don't hate them. And I refuse to hate on demand to fullfill the warped sensibilities of another person. > Sheryl has some sage advice to handle the situation. Yes, she does.  Carol |

What people like that *deserve* is a sharp slap across the face, repeated as often as necessary. Bob |

There is a very old song from the 1890s entitled, "She's More to Be Pitied than Censured". I think it applies here.

Why I'm internationally known and admired for my serenity and humility. Humility? I'm the humblest person I've ever met. There's no one humbler. I'm extremely proud of my deep, abiding humility. I go up against anybody and out-humble them with one chakra tied behind my satori. Serene almost to the point of somnolence - laid back, never get excited. Soaring along on the airy human currents that softly sweep and wash over the land. Needling Sheldon? What Sheldon. Is there a Sheldon? Has there ever been a Sheldon? And did I mention how much I hate exaggeration...? No, seriously... Pastorio (And who's this, um, Sheldon...?) |

I don't recall the incident you speak of, but don't beat yourself up over it. I believe I hold the current RFC record for rudeness and obscenity, and I'm working real hard to make sure it doesn't happen again. It IS very easy to lose your temper with some folks (especially when they accuse you of raping your daughter) but it's not worth it to get all worked up over a "virtual personality". I have to believe he's not like this at all in real life - otherwise someone would have "offed" him by now <G>. In spite of everything, now I find Sheldon more entertaining and humorous. I had him killfiled for a while, but RFC just wasn't the same. You know Wayne, it's amazing just how much some people transform when sitting behind a keyboard. They say stuff that would get them beat to a pulp if they tried it in the real world. It's a psychological mystery, because many people are transparently "real" online, while others adopt a dark side. Who knows? -- The Doc says my brain waves closely match those of a crazed ferret. At least now I have an excuse. |

Wayne - I do understand, but as others have said, don't let it get to you! I've taken my share of shots at the stupid doof, but that is because I can, and not because he upsets me. The one slight exception, is when he attacks someone else who is obviously not built to take such, and upsets them - then yeah, I'm mad for them, but at the same time, Usenet really does require one to have a thick skin, or suffer for the lack of it - it's a chaotic medium at best! A K/F is one thing I've never employed - no one has ever bothered me for me to use one, and Shelly is a pussycat compared to some I've had tussles with! The more vicious they get, the more I just LMFAO at them, heheheh... Cheers Wayne ',;~}~ Shaun aRe -- May all your wishes be both wise and fulfilled. |
