If you're trying to make this out to be part of a campaign of harrassment against him, feel free. It's typical of your distorted sense of reality. You still can't produce the other 'attacking' posts you've referred to, because they don't exist. -- Peter

I don't think you are insane, James. Steve seems to think that you and Rowland should be treated the same way, whereas I think Rowland's mad and you're not, so should be responded to differently. Rowland sees every disagreement a personal insult and imagines abuse from every quarter, and responds by being extremely rude and aggressive. You have in fact been very rudely and obnoxiously insulted, but still respond by being rude and aggressive. Rowland appears to have no choice in his responses, usually repeating the same words and phrases. I assumed you do have a choice, since it's only Rowland you're responding to so aggressively. -- Pd |
