"Child" wrote in message ... "Edward Dolan" wrote in message ... Nope! I only care what I think and I have already been fully informed on innumerable occasions what others think of me. But they have not yet heard what I think of them (calling names does not count - that is just fun and games). And they probably could give a flying ****. But I will have the satisfaction of telling them what I think of them, including you too. And I know everyone will read what I have to say about them, including you too. By the way, it is one thing for men to use rough language, but women really should not enter into this particular arena. You do not want us to think you are a slut and a whore do you? By the way, Usenet, as it is being played out here on ARBR, is really quite a cozy little group. All we are doing is just passing emails back and forth which others can get in on. No one here is anonymous - and I have never met anyone in my life who didn't care what someone else might think of him. I certainly care professionally what people think of me, but I could care less what you think of me. So says Beth of Anchorage, Alaska, but I think she does protest too much! If you write professionally like you do to this newsgroup, I can already tell you what others think of you. But it is never much fun to be judged and found wanting. I don't blame you for being concerned about your standing both professionally and on this newsgroup. -- Regards, Ed Dolan - Minnesota |

I think you might be a tad confused. A whore ****s for money, a slut just ****s around and I just say ****. Nothing whorish or slutty about it. Crude and uncouth certainly.

We are to the manner born. But for a woman to do it is many steps down the ladder of evolution. You do not ever want to play at these kind of games with men. You will lose every time because with you it is nothing but an affectation whereas with us men it comes naturally. Trust me on this. You are going to make a god-awful fool of yourself if you persist in your nonsense. The fact is that you are what you say. Language counts - whether it is written or spoken. I am really surprised you do not know this. Did you skip kindergarten? [...] If you write professionally like you do to this newsgroup, I can already tell you what others think of you.

No, you are nothing more than a sexist, believing men are naturally coarse and crude and women are sweetness and light. Neither generalization is true, nor fair to either gender.

Do you not recall what I said about the Jews being the people of the Book. There is nothing in that Book except words. Without the Book, the Jews would most likely not even exist today.

You say you write differently professionally than you do on this newsgroup. I say I do not believe you because I think you are incapable of it. Do you really think I give a damn whether you prove it to me or not? But there are many others reading these messages. You might want to consider where you stand with them right about now. -- Regards, Ed Dolan - Minnesota |

Being able to express ideas and debate ideas is key - whether you can write "properly" isn't. Its all about verbal debate, not about the written word. We jews love to argue. Thus, my love of debating you and others on usenet. And I do so in a conversational manner - as if we were speaking. Again, its part of my heritage. Prove it! Frankly, I doubt it.

Professionally, I write well, and am well respected by my peers for it. I stand just fine, despite preferring to write newsgroup conversation like real human interaction. |

Those ideas would not even exist had they not been written down in words and then loving preserved by the Jews as their sacred text. Those peoples with nothing but an oral tradition not only soon disappear from history, but they are not even known except for their archeological artifacts. Of course words represent ideas, but the words are inseparable from the ideas. It is not even possible to think without words. Conversation is not writing. They are two different things entirely. You are writing on Usenet, you are not conversing. [...] I am well respected in this newgroup - far better respected than you are. Professionally, I write well, and am well respected by my peers for it. I stand just fine, despite preferring to write newsgroup conversation like real human interaction. You know there is at least one person on this group who does not think much of you because of your contempt for the written word. There are no doubt many others here who do not think much of you for this reason also. There are always costs exacted for defying convention. Those who do not know better can be excused. Those who know better can never be excused. I do not see any relationship between Usenet and real human interaction. We are essentially writing letters to one another which the whole world can read and get in on. It simply boggles my mind that you cannot realize this and act accordingly (write better). I believe your family of scholars would be ashamed of you if they knew you were carrying on in this disgraceful manner (not writing better). -- Regards, Ed Dolan - Minnesota |

I can't seem to find anything on the Internet. I remember a phrase from my Bible studies in another lifetime (we Catholics are not big on the Bible) about the importance of the word. I think it went something like this: "In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God." I wonder if I am just imagining this or if it exists somewhere in the Bible. If it exists, that shoots Beth's idea that words don't much matter and that we can treat them with contempt by writing them anyway we want without observing the conventions. -- Regards, Ed Dolan - Minnesota |
