    Come on boys, let 's stick together,

                Joe Chris

        male (order) female (change)
        consensus, opportunistic

    (any perceived weakness in the other (likes the feedback)
    party is jumped-upon, like the claim
    Joe makes that Chris violates his own
    propounded rules)

        action, language,

    ( 'attacks ' with words_reacts without (is likely to explain things,
    thought of consequence ) is more context aware,
                                                                  ' knows ' his stuff )

        sameness,

    " trying to make logical sense out of your
    (Chris) screeds... " is IMHO (Kenneth) a
    statement likely close to what is by the
    ' general ' understood for logic. The defi-
    nition of the term which Joe apllies is
    violated by Chris, so joe strikes back.

    Joe, you have to admit, ' accusing ' Chris that his politeness dropped like a
    rock and challenging his concepten in that way (without any attempt to dis-
    cuss the matter) is IMHO_ even fundamentalistic. And expecting as much,
    betrays a prejudice.

    But anyone on this list who has gotten the idea re left/right; sameness/ diffe-
    rence must be excited_you and Chris are proovin ' ' live ' that there is a gen-
    der bias for memes.
    Look at your posts, they stand full of male/ female formulas, responses, ex-
    pressions...

    We better argue what is the usefull truth of such arguments...in the context
    of the subject please...

    Regards,

    Kenneth

    (I am, because we are) disappointed
