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-)
