Yusupha, why don't you quit whining and start standing up for what you
believe in for once? You have belatedly discovered that this is indeed a
side-show. Who asked you to jump on a posting I purposefully addressed to
the List Managers in the way you did? I did NOT 'side-step' your questions.
I told you that I do NOT have the time to review your postings. You know
what I am talking about. You do not need me to tell you what should be
obvious to you.

I do NOT have time either to enumerate the numerous occasions people
expressed differing views from mine and I did NOT get into a 'fight' with
them. That happens everyday on G_L. Unlike you, when I do not know enough
about a topic, I keep my mouth shut and discuss things I know about. When I
express disagreement with people, it is a genuine disagreement that I can
consistently support myself on. I do NOT merely disagree with people's
positions because I just want to be different (to show that I am not part of
a 'cabal'). That is spiteful and malicious. If I did that, I would be
constantly chickening out of debates. I do not know about you, but when I
debate people on G_L I want to bring forth sound points and convince people
about what I am saying. I do not want people to read me and then 'move on'
thinking that my arguments were not sound.
