   I think that in large part, this represents a problem that many in this NG   
   share. I looked back over that posting and I really can't find anything   
   objectionable in that particular posting, unless it's an opinion that some   
   might disagree with. If folks find opinions objectionable, simply because   
   they are at odds with their own, then I'd suggest that they have a problem   
   that they might want to work though somehow.   
      
   Anybody who's killfile'd me, is only getting the bits of my opinion that   
   *you* feel are worthy of passing your censorship. On the other hand, if   
   they've killfile'd me then they deserve what they are missing.   
      
   > just to show that you can say some sensible things.   
      
   Across the wide range of newsgroups in which I participate, individuals will   
   generally find that my demeanor toward them will be a reflection of their   
   own demeanor toward me. (Strictly speaking, I concede that I'd be a better   
   person if I didn't let others' behavior influence my own, but that's just   
   who I am. Maybe one day I'll be big enough to rise above it all...)
