I Know I am new, but why does this one person have so much power in this
group? I have heard that she even has her own fan newsgroup (though I
have not seen it). What is her importance? Is there something that I am
missing?

Of course, there are SOME sick people in this group who try to annoy Aimee,
hoping that they'll get one of the special Divine Slaps of Retribution. or
maybe even get bound and gagged and become her personal plaything.

Psssttt....I think you've GROSSLY misinterpreted the situation here. Our
sucking up to Aimee is, in the vast majority, joking and jesting. It's
because we are all pretty good friends here, and we know that we are
capable of joking with each other and playing roles without falling into
them too deeply. Apparently, you don't have a proper understanding of the
gorup.

Nope, it can't be that. We already changed it to alt.tori.personals,
remember?

>Tori would be revolted to see this mess...

I rather doubt that. I think she'd have a good laugh.
And, even if it were true, the chances of her actually reading this group
are rather small, so the danger to her is similarly small. I would hate to
give Tori a tummyache.

well, it's *sorta* happened on here before. with mtb. it's just a

if they wanna act that way, then i don't really think it's fair to put em
down, darrien. i mean, it's up to the individual as to who they follow
and look up to. and we all look up to someone.

um, i don't think that's the newsgroup's fault (if that's what you were
saying). i think it's yours for continuing to read the ng if it's not
making you happy.

and if you don't like it that way, then don't join in. i'm not. but i
don't see any reason to make personal assaults on people who chose *to*
join in. start new threads, make new jokes, point out new stuff, respond
to *other* stuff. it's what i try to do.

I agree that that the group threads are starting to get a little out of
hand. It'd be okay if they moved over to afal (actually, no it wouldn't --
I'm still losing alot of posts there), cuz there is no real SUBJECT in
Aimee's ng...besides, posts for all the various threads for the different
factions are starting to come so fast and furious that I can't keep up.

If you choose to view us as 'sheep' Darrien, go right the fuck ahead.
I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. I get along well with Aimee, and
I respect her, *because* we have the same views on alot of subjects.
But we *have* disagreed on topics, and usually neither of us converts the
other, we just agree to disagree. But whatever. Other people's
opinions of me have never mattered much to me, so believe what you want.

Exactly. Personally Darrien, I think alot of your posts you make are pretty
cool, but if you don't like it here...I mean, what are you expecting? A
personal apology from us for not entertaining you? I'm sorry, but if
someone who's name I'd never seen before had made this post, I would have
assumed it was a troll.

i still remember that my intro to rmta was a nice argument with her.
but really, why do we make you hate tori, and if you hate us so much
why are you still here? gee, im confused. why do we keep losing

The importance is that a bunch of patheitc newbies lack the maturity or
intelligence to form their own opinions and so they suck up to whoever seems
like a good person to follow. It happens on most ngs. Unfortunately, this
time they chose Aimee and she is quite happy to boost her already over-inflated

Why are you so bitter towards Aimee, Darrien?

Because labeling people like this is hateful. You're doing it to hurt
and strike out.

Aimee cares. She *very* mature, deeply sexual, fun, and I love her, like
just about everyone who knows her.

Or maybe look into yourself and work out your own problems, Darrien, and

Hmmm... I feel kinda sorta targeted by this one...

You know what Darrien? You assume to much. ANd you are way too arrogant
to the point that you think you've got us all pegged. First of all, I'm
not a newbie, as Carrie so kindly pointed out (loveyababe!), and second
of all, I am the most opinionate son of a bitch you'll ever meet. Funny
thing is that Aimee and I agree on a lot of things, and have ahd similar
experiences in life. She's also an unpretentious, open and fun person,
which is more then I can say for you in light of your bitter and rather
acidic comments. THAT is why I hold Aimee in such high esteem, and
respect her. My agreeing with her is NOT a shaping of my opinions, it is
only a statement of these. Oh yea, and thirdly, fist me.

: It happens on most ngs. Unfortunately, this
: time they chose Aimee and she is quite happy to boost her already over-inflated

What a bitter man you are. That is nothing more then a cheap attack on
her person, completly unfair and rather undehanded as you try and shape
someone's opinion of Aimee with YOUR own views. Hmmm... kind of
hypocritical if you ask me.

: By all means, join in and act like a little sheep like the rest of prepubescent
: lackeys. Or, maybe, you can use your *own* brain.

Yea.. okay, we're all tiny-bops. Fuck, WAKE UP! We act a little crazy,
yes. I know why I do it. THIS is a good place to vent, to play around,
to communicate, to make jokes, to be inane and most of all, to be
yourself. If you can read the posts in those contexts, then maybe you
might understand what is happening.


: Either way, welcome to rmta, or should that be alt.kiss-ass.of.aimee.groupII ?

Nah. There's other parts of Aimee I'd personally rather kiss... No
offense Aimee, I'm just not an ass man.

: Tori would be revolted to see this mess...

I think you're a pretentious mother fucker, you know that? How can you
assume to speak for ANYONE?

: Darrien
: Who listened to Tori for the first time in two months last night and realised
: how much this ng is making me hate Tori rather than actually like her.

I think, and this is only what I'm getting from what YOU just wrote in
what I assume is full seriousness (or a really tasteless and rather cruel
joke), that your personal biases against Aimee make it hard for you to
understand why anybody else would like her, OR, you take seriously what
we do in the name of fun. DO you really think we loft her up to God
status? I for one consider her my equal, nothing more, nothing less.
Considering that you've actually met her, I can only assume that your
expectations where too high, or that you have clashing personalities. In
any case, that was a cheapshot at best. YOur entire post was completly
uncalled for, and if I thought any better of you, I'd say an apology is
in order. Maybe YOU see something we don't, some sort of power she might
hold over everyone. Well, Derrien, do NOT assume that what you see in
the mirror reflects everyone's image of themselves. DO NOT assume to
know me, or anyone else in this group.

YOur attitude reeks of fundementalist potential. YOu're scarry, you know
that? What the fuck is your problem anyways?

i'm just this person who posts here. i'm very honest and open and really
fucking loud. i don't know if that makes me any more powerful than any
other posters here. it does, however, earn me lots of friends.....and
enemies, as you can see by this particular post.

i hate to break it to you, darrien, but no-one simply agrees with me just
to leech on. everyone i know here has disagreed with me at some time or
other. and it doesn't matter, because we're friends. i know it bothers
oyu when people actually compliment me or agree with me. i know you
don't like it when i'm confident and feel good about myself. but you're
just going to have to accept it. if my ego is over-inflated simply
because i don't hate myself, too fucking bad.

i don't consort with sheep. i like being around people who think for
themselves, and this is where i find them. if you want to think that
anyone who agrees with me ever must be a sheep, then that makes you a
sheep too.

: Either way, welcome to rmta, or should that be alt.kiss-ass.of.aimee.groupII ?

sure, we'll have another 'split the ng' discussion. we'll go with your
suggestion, but only as long as you promise to stay in the
alt.fuckwits.bitter.bitter.bitter ng.

: Tori would be revolted to see this mess...

i'll refer you to rantz' comment on this matter.

: Who listened to Tori for the first time in two months last night and realised
: how much this ng is making me hate Tori rather than actually like her.

i sometimes wonder just how much you would like tori if you did meet
her. from what rantz has said about her, she's not nearly as uptight as
you'd like her to be. but if you're having a problem with this ng, don't
read it. just get the fuck over yourself.

as a note to other r.m.t-a'ers - darrien does have a little problem with
me. he doesn't like that i post personal things about my life, and he
doesn't like it if anyone else likes me. i have the feeling that with
this post he was egging me on to tell some personal things about him
here, but i'm not going to do that. i'm also not going to let him drag
me down to his level of self-loathing.

Darrien, I was here before Aimee was. In fact, my friend, I was here
before *you* were. (I was actually here before most people here were.) I
have my own opinions. In fact I've argued with Aimee as much as I've
agreed with her. In fact, you, me, and Aimee all had diffrent viewpoints
on the abortion thread. That's the one that got us talking in the first
place! (Scott Kensey also had some interesting things to say there.)
Anyway, I don't think Aimee has an over-inflated ego. If she takes things
too far for you, I'm sorry. The rest of us seem to be handling it okay,
including other 'old-timers' as opposed to the newbies.

I am not a sheep. Nor am I a lackey. I have a brain and I use it.

this.

I am sorry. I did not intend to cause a thread filled with such vitriol.
I was merely curious as to who you were. I thought that perhaps the
name Aimee was a psuedonym that Tori used for anonymity, but I was
not sure and wanted to find out. I should have stayed silent and read a
little more before posting. I am truly sorry for any pain or
inconvenience that my post caused. I will remain silent from now on.

Oh hey, no problem. You just gotta understand that Aimee and Darrien go
way back (to last spring...oooh!), and Darrien just has a thing against
Aimee. That's all. Don't worry, we LUV you.

I am so disgusted by YOU, Wildfire. Nothing to do with her at all, except you

Hmm...from what I hear, you are rather fickle about your affections, so I can

Yeah, aimee *is* fun, sexual, although I would dispute mature, but that's a
private matter.

She is also egotistical. To my knowledge, she has never denied this.

Awww, poor baby couldn't handle a fight with a grown-up and so has to try and

Nice try, Wildfire, but most ppl here already know at least some of my pain,
prolly waaay more than I told *you*.

I *know* a lot of my pain. And I'm not trying to hurt you cos of it. I'm
trying to insult you, challenge whatever last shed of pride your mediocre spirit

'he's a hypocrate, hypocrate!' And your not trying to weaken wildfire
publicly with this spew of yours. Let's face, the 'net is seen as the
domain of the nerd. Nerds, by definition, are people will low self
esteem. So, taking that a bit farther, prolly quite a bit of us are shy
and have low self esteem. Aimee helps us by showing us that we can be
assertive and still get respect. Then comes along mean ole' Darrien, who
doesn't like the idea of other people getting self esteem. Darrien, you
make me SICK!

Oh, I see, you are supposedly trying to get us to be self-assertive. I
know the truth. You were trying to harm Aimee, because in the past you
duelled with her, and you LOST! This is your way of getting back.
Instead of entering in some of the other discussion, because you were
humiliated by your defeat before, you have to attack those of us who care
for Aimee. Nice try, Darrien. Instead of getting us riled up against
Aimee, we united against YOU.

Well, of course, you chose your fight well. Wildfire wasn't the only one
who rebutted you. I guess you had to choose the post that you could rip
apart the easiest, since you're too wimpy to mess with the REAL women
(and men).

Exactly! I hate that! These guys (and they always seem to be guys)
write about how much they hate us, and then when we start flaming them,
they leave, claiming that the newsgroup made them so pansy-ass sick that
they had to live. Fuck them!

[Pierre's comments about how 11/8's Calvin and Hobbes applies to Darrien]

That's exactly what I thought when I saw that. Geez, that sounds like
some flamers I know!

Yeah Pierre, let's have this party where all of us rmtaers take turns
fisting Darrien. Ah, the sphincter damage!

I don't think Kestrel would dream about you. In fact, no sane man would

Oh yeah, that's right. The earth was made in march of 4214 bc, or some
such crap. (hhm, interesting idea....tick off some fundies by calling it
bs instead of bc <eg>). BS....you know, that's the initials of "Bible

Just a question for you: why do you know this? Is Darrien still talking
to you? Hmm, part of me believes that you're just saying this to get us
from wasting bandwidth on his post. (not that that's bad or anything, I
could never say anything bad about my cyber-twin).

Well, anyway, if you do keep in touch with him, tell him that we all
think he's an asshole, and that his post just contributed to our
solidarity, instead of its original intent (which, I imagine, was to
challenge us into thinking more for ourselves, or somesuch) (and he did
a poor job of it too).

Yes, don't let old spats between people get in the way. It's not your
fault at all. Most newbies usually get teased here for asking a
Tori-related question that's clearly in the FAQ. Your question was
an honest one, who was simply wondering what's going on here (a question
I'm sure that's on every newbie's mind). Aimee Lortskel is a member
who's been around for awhile who says things that most of us like (not
all of us and not always). I can understand your curiosity. It's not
your fault that Darrien chose to bring up a flame war right there and
create a big yelling contest.

Jenny,

there were some old flame wars that have happened among the regulars
here. I got a few stories that I'd rather not mention here in the
newsgroup, because why bring them up again? (That's what Brian was
pointing out earlier to one of my posts). Darrien and Aimee had a
previous feud and he chose right at that moment to flame her once again.
I did not see the past (I've only been here just under two months) and
perhaps I'm lucky I didn't. My best advice: ride it out whenever this
happens. In this case, Darrien has left us (probably for good).

Yeah! Exactly! (hmm, am I repeating myself) I used to think Darrien
was an okay guy. I used to find his post interesting, like last spring.
What happened?

Uh . . . haven't you forgotten that I made a statement after the
waitress's first post, that I noticed that her post came from csun.edu?
Netscape does indicate where the newsgroup server comes from (where the
message is posted from).

>`,b

I think these "characters" are some of us regulars having fun posting to
begin with. If I'm not mistaken, anyone can post a fake name and email
address on Netscape. For all we know, some of the "regular" people are
not really who they seem to be. After all, was Audrey Moo real? Or Dan
Kitti, for example? (My hat's off to Dan Kitti if he WAS Audrey Moo, he
(if he is a "he"!) fooled me into thinking she was a playful, feminist
90s woman! Where are you, by the way? You haven't been posting,
recently. Or HAVE you?)

But the more I think of the internet, how do we know any of us are who
we really say we are? But the last thing I want to happen, is for this
newsgroup to get imprisoned in someone's imagination again. :)

Do we want to know the true identities? The waitress sounded so
deliberately a stereotype to begin with. Like she was just there to
remind us the extremities of fundies or the people Tori talk about as in
the song "The Waitress" or the typical closed-minded I-know-everything
person who oppresses us, oppresses Tori to begin with. Or at least some
aspects. Let alone someone we can all flame. I like to respond to all
these "characters" whenever it's appropriate, myself. And there was one
time I couldn't resist to point out that the Barney messages were coming
from a similar address as someone else on this newsgroup.

Regardless, there is justice. She got fired, didn't she?

Well, um, kind of. Just using the slang term you made up, in its
possible homophobic context, in the sense that that is prolly what people
like Darrien and people like him think of us when they flame us for
supposedly 'not thinking for ourselves'.

And, as always, just seeing if anyone would notice.

Well, that's cool. I'd love to have him here witnessing how much we LUV
him, but then again, I'm glad he's gone. I was kind of wondering, too,
if he was keeping in touch with you civilly. It would be nice to have

in fact, i edited this one. if it doesn't get through, then that's why..

gee, and we all know how terrible *that* would be.

well, i think for honest conversations and debates and stuff, that true
identities are a good thing... my posting this as 'The Fungi' or whatever
doesn't add anything to the post. but for general silliness, if regulars
want to post as 'Barney' or 'God' or 'Skippy the Wonder Demon', hey, go
right ahead...

I don't know. I thought the stranger rape versus date rape thread was a

I think you kinda answered that question for him: you have it, he

The Chinese have a festival about such an occurance, I believe, and

All well and god, except, you see, Darrien, the Waitress, and AudreyMoo
are not part of thise world. Neither is Oliver North, nor Barney. They
simply don't exist because I don't want them to. Easy enough.

As for the rest of you. Well, I am a benevolent controller of minds. Do

Hey peoples!

Just 'cause I'm feeling like the evil Cayden you all know, I am posting
this. Hehehe. ANybody else got a similar experiance? MUAHAHAHA!

Anyways, this is taken from my Email, none of Darrien's letter has been

Well... there was no agruing to DO! All it was was a bunch of
inflamatory BS, to be replied to in a way that would either show you how
I feel about your inane little rant and maybe show a newbie who might get
the wrong impression of you that there's another side to the question:

Your self pity should be addressed before you start getting on
self-righteous rants, Darrien.

Right, I've heard all about your problem with attention. But you keep on
trying anyway! I mean, why would you Email me a response? You wanted me
to see what you where thinking. Or you wanted to try and limit the
damage. Whatever. But if you truly did not want the attention that you
KNOW I will give you, then why would you Email me, of all people...

See, now this is where I find that things get interesting. You know
NOTHING about me, my ideas, what I stand for, etc. Only that I get along
with Aimee. That I agree with her on most of the points stated on the
newsgroup (not all, BTW< if you where to read the feminist threads).
THAT makes me a sheep? All I can say is fuck you you little elitist. I
don't need to proove to anyone my autonomy and that I stand alone, so
this is all I'll say on that subject.

Oh, I know THAT story, Darrien. I've got more of a clue then you THINK I
do. Yes, I do mean that. But since I'm planning on posting this to the
Newsgroup, I won't mention exactly WHAT it is.

Yea... my fave right now HAS to be Angela's. You should read it. It

Worse? No... I just know WHEN to act like this. In response to low
posts such as yours. That's all you deserve, Darrien. Like I said, it's
my angry side coming through. I doubt you've read anything of mine
concerning REAL issues. WHen I step out of line, I realise it and have
apologised. Not in hiding, but where it MATTERS: Where the people
concerned will actually SEE it.

Yea, actually, I like the newsgroup. It's a great thing to do when
you've got a few hours to kill. Instead of television, usually. WHy,
something wrong with that? Or do you equate being on the net as
automatically having no social life? 'Cause that would be wrong, ya
know. Oh, I'm not gonna try and convince you by naming off all the stuff
I've done lately, 'cause I don't give a shit wether I convince you or
not, I just wanted to point out that you made yet another blanket
assessment of the case.

As for the people who like you... gee... wouldn't that count as unwanted
attention? How long till you go and hurt THEM? Or have you learned to
live with yourself yet, and can start doing so with others... I won't
waste any compation on you though... ya wouldn't want it.

Insecurities? I have a few... none of them caused by you though... why
would you think that anything you say would make me feel insecure? If
it's because I reply, well... no, that's just 'cause I have this thing
against trolls that sometimes makes me just wanna tell them what I
think. I'm outspoken. So is there really so much to hate, Darrien?
Aww... Here, have a hig. <hig>

> Do you think I called *you* a sheep ?

Yes, you called everyone who associates with Aimee a sheep. I obviously
associate with Aimee. Therefore, you called me a sheep. It's really
quite easy to deduct.

> > Why ever would I do that ? >

How should I know why you'd do something? I'm still trying to figure

Why? You'll be better then?

I think that you should be the last person on earth to be patronising.
You say you loathe yourself, you say you hate attention... and yet you
don't act that way, now do you? It would leave me to ponder it longer,
but right after I post this to RMT-A, (To give you ALL the attention you
need, 'cause I'm an evil bastard... and to help further defuse your
comments about Aimee) you will once again be forgotten.

Homophobic? Me? Um, no. If you'd read anything that I'd written on the
subject, or, go figure, have a clue as to who I am, then you would know
that I am far from homophobic.

My interpretation: Funny how Darrien would actually use this sig at this
point when he prefers the "fuck my sig" on the rest of his posts. If you
interpret it to the context of sheep, which is what he considers a lot of
us to be, it becomes clear that it was nothing more then a cheap shot.
Good thing it was Tori though... hmmmm... Tori.

I was pointing you out as having done the right thing! You asked, I gave

Private mail is PRIVATE. It's not only in bad taste, a violation of
netiquette, and a copyright infringement, in undermines the structures
of trust people believe they can count on here. Feeling evil is not an
acceptable excuse.

No one is attacking you in a dark alley with e-mail, you are perfectly
capable of defending yourself in writing to Darrien without dragging
everone else into it, you also have the morally superior choice of just
dropping it in the bit bucket. There is no 'Right to Know'involved in
this.

If you'll observe the latest batch of posts it's quite clear
people are sick of this thread and hope it dies a swift death.

: SO if people don't agree with my posting this, I gave ample warning in

: the header, just don't read it. Sorry, I just don't see eye to eye with

You only see eye to eye with the most clueless of newbies and the worst
of the net.kooks on this one. I know you don't fit into either of those
categories, but this posting of mail is reprehensible.

Some of the items you were replying to were not meant for public
display, and I notice you've conviniently cut out Karen's reaction, the
fact that seeing some of that stuff hurt her to the point where she
doesn't feel comfortable around here.

You LOSE on this issue. You lose moral standing and thus lose whatever
position you had in your reply to Darrien. You break a web of trust that
exists between most of us, Darrien for all his obnoxious, cruel, and
offensive posts, is still part of that web, YOU are not.

[snip]

: Deal with it.

No one should have to deal with it. Go back to square one and read every
article in news.announce.newusers (good advice for everyone), and don't
post private e-mail with out getting permission first.

I agree with you, Pierre. If anybody privately flamed me in response to
a public post, I'd move it public. Why should I respect the "privacy" of
somebody who throws a bomb through my cyber window? I wouldn't
publically post a letter of support, a polite disagreement or any personal
message, but flames are different. Anyone who wants to assault me
should have the courage to do it in public. I wouldn't hesitate to
tell the police what an assailant had done or said. I would testify in
court to it. Why should I treat a verbal assault differently?

Yeah, I think he's (she's? who was the original poster of what I snipped..)

Yeah, I can see that....[and thanks again for that e-mail message....I'm

For me, I just like to hear other people's ideas. Someone just sent me
e-mail on another topic, which might be very good for us all to discuss.
She said it was okay to post it, but I wanted to make sure she absolutely
approves first.....I think it's a difficult subject. :/ (no more on that)

Yeah....this is a difficult one. I'm pretty much riding it out, 'cept
where it applies to me (ie posting brian's and dan's e-mails). That's
hard. I don't know what I'd do if someone personally attacked me via

No, Storm, YOU don't aproove. I have NO idea what Tori would say.
Personaly, I don't think Tori would aproove or disaproove of anything,
this had nothing to do with her. She can have an opinion, but it is
ultimatly not her decision.

Listen, the ONLY reason I regret posting is because two other people who
where not involved got caught in the cross-fire. Darrien responded to a
PUBLIC post with a cowardly mail-bomb. His privacy in this matter
deserved no respect. I would not have posted it had he been the least
bit rational, or had we had a real argument going. The truth is, he
didn't want it in here 'cause he had promised he wouldn't post anymore:
he certainly does not give a damn if I did. In fact, accoriding to
someone, he might just be feeling smug that I did. Good for fucking
him. <wavestoDarrien...givesHig...>

For the last time, you may not aproove, that is one thing. But if you
read it, knowing full well it was a private posted Email, well, hey.
What does that tell you? You WANTED to read it. Just like I WANTED to
post it.

ANd "Tori would not aproove" comments are best left to trolls, Storm, you

I am forced to disagree with both of you. Private e-mail is simply that,
private, unless public posting of it is acceptable, and that consent has
been expressed, by both the sender and receiver. There is no reason to
make it public otherwise. Making comparisons to actual assault is wrong,
because in cases of law enforcement, there is protocol, the accused has a
chance to defend himself, etc. Darrien threatened no actual harm, only made
insults (if he had threatened harm or damage to Pierre's property or
something similar, I would support informing law enforcement about it, but
it should still not be posted in a public forum without his consent).

Pierre, you made a mistake. Accept it for that.

The privacy of e-mail is between sender and recipient. If somebody

What is so hard to understand here?! It was PRIVATE email! You can let
everyone in on someone's true nature without quoting an entire PRIVATE email
message on a public forum. Besides which, we already knew about Darrien's
true nature. We didn't NEED clued in, thank you very much. And the privacy
of this email message, as far as I know, wasn't between sender and recipient.
It was between recipient and recipient. Darrien never gave persmission to
let his email go public.

he did (and yes i know it was a PRIVATE email so please dont follow up to
me telling me so). i mean there wasnt anything personal in it and i
guess on the internet with emailing people you have to take chances.
obviously ive written peopel stuff that i dont want them posting but its
a chance i take. plus all darriens email was was flame. darrien tryed
to humiliate pierre thro email so pierre got his revenge on the

I am going to be uncharacteristically blunt, Pierre:
You will be a good journalist if this is any indication, for you have
shown just how callous you can be concerning who may be hurt by what you
decide to post. In point of fact, the above response to Karen paints you
as being not a hell of a lot better than Darrien himself in your regard
for who might get hurt. The only difference is that he did it on
purpose and is not apologetic, while you are just not apologetic. Saying
"I gave warning" don't cut it. There is a difference between
journalistic ethics and what is acceptble nettiquette. While you may not
have violated journalistic ethics, you have certainly crossed the line of
reasonable nettiquette.

I repeat for the umpteenth time: trolls do not deserve a response, and
this episode is a prime illustration of why not.

You should be. To be blunt again: you made a mistake. Admit it.

After you, sir.

Hey, Pierre. *I* DIDN'T read it (well, past the this is email stuff).
It's none of MY business. It's none of ANYONE'S business but you and
Darrien's. Don't you get it??

Yes, it does! Don't you fucking get it??? It was PRIVATE email (note
the emphasis on the PRIVATE)! Whether he did it out of cowardice or
not is irrelevant. It was private. You can't just go deciding what
deserves to be private on a whim!

Did he say you could post it here?

Oh, well that makes it right, of course.

What moot point? You violated someone's privacy. That's a pretty big
fucking deal, Pierre.

Nothing is difficult to understand. I merely disagree with your

Darrien: Sender

It snowed a few times a week ago, but it didn't stay until yesterday.
Ahhh....snow is so beautiful.....I discovered (as well as aimee) that
there are certain Tori songs that go quite well with falling snow. I'd
like to add flying dutchman to that list...

But you forget an extremely important point. You own your words in the
full legal sense. If it's posted here you've given implicit permission
for them to copied, used, etc. Words mailed privately are still the
property of the sender, and permission is needed before you can make
them public.

I'll reiterate my previous points a little more generally, there is an
implicit trust involved when emailing some one and an assumption that
your words will remain private unless both parties decide otherwise.
Would you like tapes of your private arguments broadcast on the radio?

The analogy of assault has been used here a few times, it really doesn't
hold up in the realm of words. Bad words and insults are not the
equivalent of an assault in real life, they are the equivalent of bad
words and insults.

I had(have?) the fatuous belief that I can say things in e-mail to most
every member of this group, secure that even if we became nasty towards
each other, those things would not be dragged out in public. I've had
faith enough (and there a plenty of others) in the honor of the people
here to confess intensely personal things. I'd really hate to have to
become wary of my words.

exactly. and in this case there wasn't an agreement between them that it
should be posted. pierre posted it without permission and that is simply
wrong.

: bashes me in private, I'd let everyone in on his true nature, too.

crap. darrien sent a childish response which should have been ignored.
and i'd like to point out that there was some personal information about
me in it which i hadn't wanted posted. i believe that's a factor as well.
