"Why can't I just shut up?" Fuck you, Sammy boy. With a rusty iron
pipe. _Anybody_ else can voice an opinion here, but for some reason
_you_ decided you don't _like_ me (what is it - did I neglect to kiss
your ass when I came in?), so as soon as I say a _word_, you find a
reason to end the discussion because it's "off-topic" (nevermind the 5
or 6 times you contributed to most of the threads in question before I
said anything), or you accuse me of "fanning the flames" when done
nothing but voice an opinion like everyone else has been. What total
and utter bullshit. You really need some Prozac, or a shrink to help
you work through those left-over potty-training issues from childhood.
(Or did you forget all the obscene, abusive, highly personal e-mails you
sent me the last time I forgot to agree with your opinion? I've got a
special folder that messages from you are filtered into - it's called
"Asshole". I had thought that you were done with the childish name
calling and personal attacks, but I guess not.) What would your public
think - the man who organized SamFest '98 (errr... excuse me... VCF) -
calling people assholes and telling them to shut up - all because they
voice an opinion about a list they have an interest in? Not very
attractive behavior, Sambo. Not very attractive at all.
Look, I don't know if this was supposed to be a private mail, or not, but
WHATEVER it is, it's DEFINATELY OFF-TOPIC! I really think I'd have to side
with Sam on this one.

No, it was intentionally posted to the list. I'm tired of Sam shutting
down reasonable discussions by declaring them "off-topic" while in the
same breath getting the last word, while simultaneously insulting people
for no good reason. I've got a half dozen e-mails filled with Sam's
bile and hate from the last time I dared defend someone's right to an
opinion other than his. I just thought it might be educational for
people to see the festering hatred and insecurity that's exposed when
you scratch Sam's surface. That is, of course, unless he decides to be
a pussy and flame me in e-mail again. (Fair warning, Sam - anything you
e-mail me is going on this list for everyone to see and judge for
themselves.)

That's OK, Bill. There's no need for me to send any particular response
to this public display of social retardation, other than to acknowledge
that you are seriously off-topic and really need to shut up.
But if it'll make you feel better, then I'll be the better man and let you
have the last word publicly. If it'll get you to finally calm down then
it'll be well worth it. Go ahead and reply to this message with another
off-topic tantrum and I shall not spew a word about it.
You're welcome.

Oh, Sam. I'm sorry your parents didn't love you, and I'm sorry your
puppy was run over, and I'm sorry you didn't get to be hall monitor.
I'm glad to hear that the medication is helping. Maybe one day you can
live a normal life. (You didn't happen to catch the skit on Mad TV or
Saturday night live recently, where the couple had the retarded son
whose could only say the phrase "Shut-up" over and over, did you...?)

(Pardon me. Get me to "finally calm down"? I stated an opinion against
censoring this list of anything vaguely off-topic. You got in my face
about it, and now _I_ need to calm down? Hmm. You and Mr. Clinton
would get along well. He's good at double talk and twisting the facts
to suit his purposes too.)

Well - that last time Sam 'went overboard' I couldn't shut HIM up until
I threatened to go to his VCF and hand out printed copies of his emails
to the attendees 8-)
Maybe we should get together and do a 'book' on him!
I will say that he gets really sweet right before a VCF and then goes
power hungry with the list afterwards... but then everything settles
down to a nice dull roar. Until about March when he knows he has to
start being nice again - he will have one more flare up before Mr. Nice
Guy has to come out and play again. I have gotten used to it. Try to
hang in there Bill.

The First Amendment is really nifty and all, but if you behaved
like this if we were all meeting in person, people would tend to
not want to be around you. Perhaps you and Sam can find another
forum to discuss the art of obscenity and its role in casual
friendly gatherings, be they electronic or physical. I know
it might sound delightfully anal to you, but in an essentially
unmoderated forum such as this, *you* must control *yourself* -
no one else can do it for you, not even Sam. :-)
Unless of course you two do it to each other consensually, and
then it's none of my business, but it would probably be considered
off-topic if you do it here, unless it somehow involved computer
equipment more than ten years old. And don't forget, too much
lubricant is almost enough, especially social lubricants like
politeness and netiquette.
