So what? Was that too much for you to cope with? I often read several <20>

Had you READ my message, you'd know that's not the real problem. Compare <20>
|
||
the number of lines Steve has had in Fidonews _on the subject of religion_ <20>
|
||
against the number I've *submitted* on that subject (or Steve Winter) and <20>
|
||
you'll see the count is rather lopsided.
|
||
|
||
I guess I'll just come out and say it... you are being arbitrary and <20>
|
||
discriminatory. I guess I'm just going to have to lower my expectations <20>
|
||
and not expect you to be fair. I guess I never should have expected that, <20>
|
||
given your outlook on life, but I had hopes that you would try to be more <20>
|
||
evenhanded as editor.
|
||
|
||
Not that it probably matters to you, but I think you should resign as <20>
|
||
editor. You have seen fit to use Fidonews to promote your own personal <20>
|
||
biases, yet you refuse others that same option (not that that's what I'm <20>
|
||
doing, but that's what YOU think I'm doing, so I guess it's all the same <20>
|
||
if "perception is everything").
|
||
|
||
Just remember that the next time you're tempted to complain about <20>
|
||
discrimination of some form or another, you're just as guilty of it as <20>
|
||
anyone else.
|
||
|
||
Is this message short enough for you to handle?
|
||

But you cant expect everyone to match your abilities. It is just too
|
||
much for me to read.

|

Maybe so, but line count is not a measure of anything useful.

I received a series of files from you and from Steve, in more or less
|
||
random (ie. not preordained) order. I dealt with the stream as I
|
||
could. "Discriminatory" implies a methodical handling of subjects or
|
||
people. Not the case here -- both or you got in stuff, you are both
|
||
welcome to submit stuff, but simply not this particular thread. ANd
|
||
yes, any particular thing that seems to me to be closely related. This
|
||
last may seem arbitrary, but it *is* an editors job.
|
||
|
||
> Is this message short enough for you to handle?
|
||
|
||
Yes, thank you it is!
|
||
|
||
I am sorry you are mad at me personally, but apparently it can't be
|
||
helped. I will continue to look at everything I receive, from you
|
||
especially, with an open mind.
