[kj] etiquette

[Greyson Stoehr]

Hi, Paul--

You and I are on GOOD terms, my friend.  You and I
sorted things out ages and ages ago.

I used the term "idiots" in the plural just in case
there WAS more than just peter.west doing the multiple
personalities to argue shite.  However, I find it
interesting that as I never mentioned his actual NAME,
he continues to attack me.  Especially as my original
complaint was about how he wastes everyone's time.

And he is a waste of time.  I've had to block him
personally on several occasions, because he simply
won't stop.  He's even brought my name up in other
periods when I had not posted anything; there's
something he's personally attaching to my name so that
if he's worked up, I'm somehow involved.  Paranoid,
maybe.

Cheers, Paul--and thanks for contributing the vinyl to
the Jester fundraiser.  I now own a lot of it!

Oh, and I wasn't advocating we start a new list, I
only meant we'd eventually have to find a new list
once this one becomes befouled beyond all tolerance.

Grey :)
