	I thought I'd stay out of this one since I didn't see the original
sci.lang posting by ellis.....
	
	Not to mention that the resulting flame by harnad was a little too
moral majority for my tastes.... a simple e-mail response back to the poster,
and if offense was repeated, maybe to the sys admin.....but a public posting
and on and on.....

	Then Mr. Ellis posted again.  This time I read the whole posting
(not to mention the gene ward smith rejoinders...) and I am convinced that
some of the postings from brahms are getting out of hand.  I don't mind the
lanquage (i've been known to make a longshoreman blush) nor do I mind personal
attacks when used/done appropriately.... But I DO MIND cluttering up this net
and this newsgroup with pure bullshit, junk and crap... Big deal that ellis's
last posting was rot13 - so what if it offends no one for language - it is 
STILL OFFENSIVE because it had several pages that had absolutely no content
at all....Had he included only the last two paragraphs, I would have felt 
diffenrently.

summary - I have no argument with the way you have expressed yourself - or
that you did try - but that your content was well down in proportion to the
length of your posting.

If you must post content-less articles, please (user@brahms and harnad) go
back to posting them in talk.bizarre where they belong (and are then worth
something.....)
