Then perhaps you should lurk for a while?
I suppose the goal of "full disclosure" is to make this world a better
place.
No. Not really. FD is the place where ego's rule and manners are
unknown. Think UseNet circa 1995.
So I'm quite astonished about the tone I'm reading in the last mails.
If these bother you then you will likely not find this a very comforting
home.
Is this the general tone here ?
Yes.
I never read such a thing before.
Then you don't get out much, do you?
Maybe in films, but this is real life, and you are real persons.
No - you and me are real persons. Eric Scher is a wad of dick cheese.
Why are you doing this to yourself? Is any of you feeling happier
talking like this to your fellow human beings?
Quite. Thanks for asking.
And in front of probably thousands of people?
Hrmmm... Thousands? I don't know that FD has that kind of penetration
anymore - but *maybe*.
Is this the kind of world you want to create?
It the kind of world we're already IN peer. Dig it or check out, right?
I guess I somewhat understand both your point of view and what your
friction is about, but I think if you try and put yourself in the shoes
of your diskussion partner, you could figure out some way to get along
better. I'm sure you can do that.
I don't think so.
I appreciate franc words which are better than keeping silent about
injustice, but I also suppose that gentle and humble -- everybody has
some dark sides -- words will generally work better.
Words are, unfortunately, all we have (for now anyway. I'm working on the
rest though). So we might as weell use them ;-)
Cheers

I like the idea of belief in drug-prohibition as a religion in that it is
a strongly held belief based on grossly insufficient evidence and
bolstered by faith born of intuitions flowing from the very beliefs they
are intended to support.
