Well like I said earlier, I suspect that HUD has begun providing net
access in the public housing facilities.

I do agree with your point however, but it should be directed specifically
to the people *initiating* the threats, not to folks like me who are
simply defending themselves (and in the case of the delphi.com asshole,
my family) by *responding* to them. There's a BIG difference there!
But otherwise, like I said, you have a point.

By the way Lenora Levine, that was a neat trick using the alt.test
follow-up in order to make a mass of email bombs come at me. I'll
keep that in mind, especially if Paul Pomes (who in addition to being SA
is also a fellow gun-rights activist) asks me why my /mail/spool filled
up. Any other tricks up your sleave Lenora?

Then you obviously know nothing about the criminal class that resides in
and controls American public housing. Some of the most culturally violent
people this country has ever known live there. I hope you are fortunate
enough to go the rest of your life without having to experience (ie; be a
victim of) this violence.

In a historical sense this is not true. Citizens by-and-large were
responsible for THEIR OWN security and safety. When things worked this
way, bully criminals like your friend at delphi.com who threatened the
female members of my family with rape, torture, and death (because
they are white) were dealt with surely and swiftly. Now, thanks to
the police-state that people like you built, our culture has been
"taught" that the police are the primary providers of our safety and
security. And the police are about as efficient at delivering it as
the post office is at delivering the mail. Your thinking is both naive
and dangerous, and it is already having catastrophic consequences for
the good citizens of this country.

I doubt it. Like I said, just let the monkey try. The chimp better
stick to bullying old ladies on walkers.

Funny, you can't get yourself to say a word against the original black
guy who started this whole thing by threatening my family, can you?

Here, here. I agree entirely. This place was fun then. Now it seems
to have been co-opted by people with unabashedly racist attitudes.
Certainly a year ago no one on a.p.c. would have called anyone
a "chimp" for being black. No one would have made references to
"Jewish right-wingers who invented the term PC" or "Jewish
Left-wingers who are undermining our christian nation." (except
of course, for Danny the Nazi, who most people ignore anyway.)

I miss the old alt.politics.correct. I missed the old days when
people got flamed for being ignorant right-wingers or knee jerk
left-wingers. I hate what's happened to a.p.c. Its too bad too,
'cause its generally a small enough group that you can keep pretty
well abreadst of what's going on in it and its inhabitants.

Well, let's see... I live in HUD-subsidized housing, I have net access
from my apartment, but it's not provided by HUD and I've never been known
to post "tired of green martian idiots" tripe. Does that help clear
things up for you?

Oh, and did I mention I'm white? Just FYI, of course- I'd never
insinuate that you're being racist. :-)

Well, that was a nasty little trick! I think The T*rk*sh One Whose Name
Should Never Be Mentioned had one of his many accounts revoked for that
garbage. I should know- he did it to me once. :-( You may want to look
into that- doing what you say Levine did is prohibited by many sites.

Name calling has always gone on, but it seems to be getting worse, more ad

In fact, you probably *increase* the danger with your bullshit
macho posturing. And considering that the first poster implied
a threat to your family, such posturing increases the threat to
them, as well. So you see, your own actions have actually increased

the risk to your family? Is that really what you wanted to do.

Actually, I'm Lenore Levine's brother, Ross Martin Levine. I've
been using her account to post from. You know, Lenore's
sorta scared to be on the net herself. I think she's
afraid some creep might try to, you know, sexually harass her.

On the other hand, "Bobbi Hatch" is a real woman who also
posts under the male pseudonym Bob Christ. She's a redhead and hot,
hot, hot, if you know what I mean.

Nobody said anything about *just* one place to pin your crap up. I was

Thesis defense? Bwahahahaha! Robin, my dear boy, you will have
a great deal to defend if your thesis displays the same mutilation
of the noun-verb relationship as your posts to a.p.c do. At the very
