Remember this?

Here's his response to my tiny little protest on the list. He sent it private; guess he didn't want anyone seeing just how unfair he is...

Yes I know it's not just you. There's an old saying that a person brings two buckets to a fire. One with water and one with gasoline. You chose which to throw on the fire.


On the occasion that someone posts a politically oriented message, if I
catch it, I'll respond asking the group not to discuss politics. You should
note that since the election, I've kept my political opinions to myself.
Anyone who knows me, knows I'm a conservative and that I have strong
opinions about current events. Respecting the diversity of the group
however, I choose not to air them on the list-serve.

You on the other hand, have taken such occasions under the guise of
"truth-telling" as an opportunity to espouse liberal democratic
talking-points. If you were less interested in your own agenda and more
interested in the well-being of this group, instead of getting in the last
word, you'd respond (as I do) asking the other parties not to post
politically oriented messages.

As I usually work seven days a week, I don't have time to research and
prepare counter-points to your "truth-telling". Additionally, since correct
that you're not the only one posting politically oriented messages, I can't
in fairness just kick you off the list. That makes the logical recourse to
shut down the list-serve.

If you want to "play by the rules", when someone posts an inappropriate
message, please leave your soap-box at home and either remind them of the
rules or contact me so that I can remind them of the rules. Though I agree
with practically nothing you've posted, I have at least tried to be fair
with you. After the original post, you responded with links for further
reading. After that, I posted a message asking that politics not be
discussed. You in turn, could not leave the matter alone and felt it
necessary to post another message making your political arguments. That's
when I decided I've had enough.

Remember, all I said was

Gary, you know it's not just me. It's not fair to single me out. I don't and won't discuss it as long as everyone else plays by the same rules.

So I'm going to do exactly what he suggested. Anytime anything remotely religious or political is posted, I'll have a canned response to post and CC: it to him. Hope he enjoys it. Wonder if he'll jump down the throat of his right wingnut cronies as far as he jumped down mine...

This is it:

Please remember that religious and/or political topics are off limits on this list. Please do not post or reply to these sorts of topics.

Thank you.
