The use of "[sic]"is unwarranted.
Generally it tells me that the author wasn't able to present a good case to
answer his "opponent" (for lack of a better term) so he resorted to personal
attacks before the public.  I consider it a childish practice that
should be avoided by those who wish to be taken seriously.

The topics discussed in this newsgroup are inflammatory enough without adding
fuel to the flames.

If there is something personal you think needs to be commented on, there is
a course to follow.
Send a private letter to someone who uses poor taste or poor grammer or poor
logic or poor whatever.  Don't air dirty laundry over the net.  

(I'm a little behind in this group, hope this isn't a moot point.)

My keyboard is unfortunately overloaded with work in the real world or I could
really enjoy submiting lots of fun stuff to this newsgroup.  I'm working
on a masters degree in biblical studies.  (My BS is in computer science.)
