ALL: A Suggestion

The recent unfolding drama on this list is getting quite annoying.
The way I see it, it all started when Brian Betty quite innocently
made a comment which some apparently dissapproved of. Then Steg
Belsky, quite innocently, was the first to express his disapproval,
followed by Tom Wier, and then Nik Taylor... this sparked a feeling
of insult within Brian.

I think circumstances would be a lot more different if Steg and
company could have just ignored the comments they don't like. I find
that when everyone ignores the comments they don't like, such
comments will pass and be forgotten. If there is some form of
democracy in this list, the majority will prevail and the unliked
comments will be ignored and forgotten.

Basically, when comments you don't like appear, I'm suggesting:

To forgive, then forget, and then move on.

Hmmm... seems like I'm putting my foot where my mouth is. But like I
always say, its easier to be clever after an uncomfortable incident.
So this is it, from now on I'm forgetting and moving on - for I have
already forgiven.

Best Regards,
