Kelley: michael. ya know i love ya. but that you bitched about lazy dumb fucks, got bitched at in turn by doug for hypocrisy, and then ignored what he said by, yet again, posting every fucking thing from a web page AND failed to excise this crap that must be a product of your mailer's screwed up settings is just bizarre.

-clip-

it's not like no one has complained before! you were upset that someone hadn't read what you'd forwarded to the list recently. well, if what you send is poorly formatted and jumbled up and, worse, there's little explanation as to WHY you're sending it to the list, well there's at least part of an explanation as to why.

i love ya, but i don't have to patience to read poorly formatted stuff anymore than i have the patience to read R's and others' barely legible and annoying 24 point font HTML crap.

^^^^^^^^ CB: Michael, I don't love ya, but I do think you are sincerely concerned about all the slaughter you post about.

I think a main flaw in the pattern of your posting is that you send a lot of undigested , straight up, old style, right wing anti-communist stuff. So, one post you just sent casually studies four "genocides" in the twentieth century, Nazism and three communisms. Notice no mention of the Capitalist (except Nazi) and U.S. genocides all over the place, like Viet Nam, Korea, Iraq, or WWI. I mean the definition of "genocide" used is not that of the UN Convention, so, WWI is a "genocide" too, by France,Germany , England, U.S. etc. The KKK committed genocide.

Anyway, the point is you don't seem to be aware of the "nuances" of anti-communism, including the many lies, exaggerations and distortions, demogogy, so your credibility in discerning or distinguishing the actual crimes of Stalin and Stalinists, or communists from the capitalist demogogy, is very suspect. You post too indiscriminantly.

So, unlike Kelley, I'm glad you post with bad formatting, because it's good that it discourages people from reading what you send. Keep it up ! Bad form is appropriate for bad content.
