Message-ID: <142@ihdev.UUCP> Date: Wed, 16-Jan-85 21:25:36 EST Article-I.D.: ihdev.142 Posted: Wed Jan 16 21:25:36 1985 Date-Received: Thu, 17-Jan-85 13:45:31 EST Organization: AT&T Bell Labs, Naperville, IL Lines: 39 ski!jkh recently posted a letter to flame the flames that are flaming back and forth between flamers. in other words, he's getting fed up with "personal flames", and happened to mention jeff sargent. i recently flamed jeff sargent, and came to defend the flame. it was an attempt to bring some attention to the jeff sargent problem that exist in net.singles. i couldn't tear him up there, you flame in net.flame, so i brought it over here. net.singles DOES have a problem, and hopefully it (he) will go away soon. right now the current vote on net.singles.js is 14 to 0 FOR the group, so something may come out of it yet. but i do agree, when two people sit there and exchange flames back and forth and back...... it does get old quick. the one other flame i'd like to flame about while i'm here are those stupid IRA type flames. someone person of irish decent get all hot and bothered because their great great great great aunt on their mother's ex-hairdresser's best friend side (patty o'furniture) got hit by an englishman with a rock. so they decide to post something to net.politics. and they say in their minds "i'm so mad, i'll post this to flame too!!!." but that isn't how it works, just because your upset doesn't mean it goes in flame. net.flames is for flames, when your PISSED, TICKED OFF, and want to flame. by definition, something for net.flame shouldn't be acceptable in net.politics. why should flamers care a rats-ass one way or the other about the IRA?? if they care, they'll read net.politics. if you want to FLAME about the IRA, fine, do it here, but if it's going to other groups as a reasonable, well-argued letter about a specific topic, it probably doesn't belong in flames. SO KEEP IT THE HELL OUT OF HERE. (notice how i flamed there, so i can't cross post this B-) "husband and children watched in horror as...
