[kj] UNSUBSCRIBE!!/Jon's problem

[The Exorcist]

And to think! All these years I've worshipped the very dirt you walk on.

I don't think you need to explain yourself. Following the thread, Jon 
decided to unsub
after your response to me. In response to buncha other crap...

"Not being able to identify Steve Jones from the Sex Pistols = inexcusable.

I don't see how anyone can be offended by that, and, well, if someone 
is I don't think anyone ought to
be bothered by it. People have their niche's and ideas and they ought 
to be able to say things as they
see it. (I guess that means I oughta be wearing a Selfish Cunt shirt ehhh?)

I don't know at what point Jon got offended nor do I quite know why. 
I'm sure he's a fine fellow
and hope that he'll come back. The more the merrier (IMHO).

However, I don't think anyone ought to apologize for back and forth 
shit unless something is really really out of bounds.
I haven't see anything recent coming even close to this, "shrug".

Cheers,

Ps.
I'm watching AMERICAN FOOTBALL now and LOVING IT! :)
Go Giants!

Competition is a barbaric, insensitive ritual that reeks of social Darwinism.
We cannot allow the fittest to survive on our pages. Your loss is someone
else's gain, and your gain is someone else's loss. Therefore, losers contribute
to the society and winners take away from it. Being a winner is 
unethical, while
a society of losers is happy and striving as a collective. In the 
spirit of diversity,
inclusiveness, and collectivism our contests shall have no winners.
Everyone is declared a loser, which in our book means an ethical team player.
