Hello again all... Look, In the past five or six posts, I've seen the F-word used several times, and a lot of name calling. Can we PLEASE ALL let it go? Please? Can we do something like discuss the Police? Like how cool it was when Stewart busted his drumhead during the HOF show? Or how great Andy's live shows are? Or how cool it is that Sting will be touring again soon? Please? -Tim

Tomorrow, we'll see..... - Will Jeremy re-appear to confront those who have cast aspersions on his character, or will he cleverly deflect the attention away from himself once again by starting another inflammatory argument ? - Will the vitriolic political and personal arguments continue, or will we all be feelin' the (Sacred) love ? - Will Nigel-of-the-accurate-and-hysterical-observations ever post again ? - W.W.S.D. ? (What Would Sting Do?) Tune in next time to THIS WAR ... Strange Brew indeed, eh. _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

Ross: >>>As humurous as this may appear, it is exactly what cause's the recent >>>events we have witnessed here. >>>Ross >>>PS: For the record, I did not read ONE inflammatory remark from Jeremy. >>>Rather they were posted ABOUT him. He was simply defending himself. IRONIC AND MEANT IN JEST: The USA want to be a World POLICE. So for a POLICE mailing list mentioning the Chief of the World Police is within the rules... Dietmar ** ** INFLAMMATORY AND MEANT TO INSULT: Maybe you should take a look at the damage that was done when your country decided to try to take over the world, and compare it to what you say the US is doing and perhaps take some time to reflect that. Jeremy *********************************************** Apparently you missed that post. Otherwise you basically got the point. Taking a cue from Dietmar I used a writing tool known as "irony". Been a list member for years but never post due to the lack of acceptance for non-sheeplike-behavior.... Sincerely, and in utter seriousness, BOB _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus&pgmarket=en-ca&RU=http%3a%2f%2fjoi…

>I didn't write the comment Oh, I knew that, sorry I didn't mean it to read that way. >it was not, to my knowledge, a vitriolic attack on any US >citizen I agree. I just wanted to try to give an interpretation of why someone might feel offended. >I also don't want to be accused of trolling.... No, not you Jason, you've been around too long and we know you. :D >But seriously, things have become pretty heated in the last >few days - but I'm still friends with the lot of you. No love lost.

We don't carry the weight of our countries on our shoulders. We don't suffer with responsibility for the wrongs, or bask in the rights of those who came before us. The truth is that we as individuals are responsible for our own actions, burdens, beliefs (religous or political, etc.), failures and successes. Personally, I refuse to take the responsibility for actions of my ancestors (and some were especially henius), much less the actions of strangers who just happen to have been born in the same country. >The USA want to be a World POLICE. So for a POLICE mailing list >mentioning the Chief of the World Police is within the rules... Allow me to explain the potential offense (not disparaging truth?) of this statement. For one things, it lumps together all Americans, even those who do not support the actions and policies of the government and/or it's Chief of Police. It does nothing but make individual Americans (on the basis alone of being American) feel they are being held responsible for the policy it states. It's not true that the entire USA wants to Police the world, since not every individual within it's borders supports that policy. It's a useless general statement directed at the person responsible for American policy (which is no one on this list). I hope my thoughts makes sense.

I have a few humble words of advice for everyone...ignore the trolls. A troll's sole purpose on any message board or mailing list is to incite discourse--nothing else. Some simple signs are: immediate negativity from the first appearance, anonymity, and the apparent inability to carry-on a civilized conversation in a positive manner. Thanks. Teri would that also include the other trolls who try to pass as intellectual wanna be peace keeping idiots who also can become hostile and rude.. like let say yourself? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Ok....enough already. This is the second time today I have been foolish enough to allow myself to be antagonized into uncharacteristic behavior. You people are on your freaking own. I'm done with all of you who wish only to inflame and incite others.
