Can someone please tell me if we are supposed to be shutting the hell up or
not? All of the following has my head hurting..........(with apoligies to
Arthur and the others who are sick of this particular posting..........just
trying to understand what it is we are all requested to be doing)

I think this posting is very thoughtful and very articulate.
Indeed "Big Brother" does in the end benefit from our
self-righteous squabbles...
What a fit conclusion this posting - left below for everyone to
read again - is for this thread....>>>

********Hmmmmmmmmmm
Lets see if I can figure this out............On Aug. 7, Antoine decides to
concede that there will never be agreement on this subject, and he makes a
heartfelt plea to conclude the posting.................******************

<<< Hardly! on the contrary.... I'd love to hear or
read more of your thoughts...There's nothing more exciting than
a good discussion...or even argument.... I was jut hoping it
would conclude the "public" part of the on-list discussion,
which did'nt really belong there in the first place...my
fault... I had no idea that I would start such an uproar...

Best regards
Antoine

*****************On August 8, he tells me privately that he doesnt mind OFF
line discussion.........he even looks foreward to it.........He also claims
no previous knowledge that this would be such an "emotional" subject, and had
no idea that it would create such a stir.......(I find that kind of hard to
swallow, tho.........from previous discussions on the thread page, I am sure
he knew exactly what fires he was
flaming.................)*****************************

Breaking News, and another outrage: yet another mass shooting
just happened:
A 40 year-old white man in green fatigues just shot five people
in a Jewish
community center (Museum of Tolerance, of all places...) in
Granada Hills, CA... Flak jackets and militia-type equipment,
UZI and ammo were found
in a red van at the site according to the news... 5 people
fighting for their lives,
including three children!!!

I would respectfully ask my fellow listees to note
under their signature if they are MVPA members or not. It would
help identify the people with whom I (or others) would be
interested in carrying off-list this discussion with..

***************On August 10, just 2 days after admitting to some blame,
asking all of us to quit beating our breasts and continuing this type of
discussion, he deliberatly shows his own brand of outrageousness, and writes
this preceeding piece of emotional "news" on a thread page he has only hours
before said was no place for this type of material..............
He does say here, tho, that he would still welcome off line
discussion.........but only with members of the MVPA, I
think............(which almost hurts my feelings.......since I wasnt aware
that I had to be a member of anything to be entitled to opinions. I guess I
would be smarter if I had enough sense to join things immediately, instead of
first investigating, talking, and then waiting til I was sure I wanted to
join something.) ********************

Now we've heard it all! This whole thing might just be part of
the FED conspiracy to deprive us from our rights... Go tell that
one to the parents of the three kids wounded to-day...

************And once again.......makes it emotional, out of context, and
really just doesnt even make sense to me.... except as 10 gallons of gasoline
on the campfire he was previously trying to douse..**********

I suppose I bear some responsibility for fanning the flames of
this off-topic debate. THIS IS IT, I will not respond to anyone
on-list or off-list...

************On the 11th, he again shows remorse, and now states that he will
not talk to anyone regarding this...................here, there or
anywhere.............Not on the thread page, not off list,
either............Which is in direct conflict and negates everything he had
said just the day before.......
(Altho I had thought it might be true, since he has not answered any more of
my off -line mail.........but, since he then wrote the letter found below,
seems to be not quite so true, after all...........Maybe it is just me he is
not willing to argue with any longer?)*****************

Mr Dillard,
I would not dream of even attempting to have the last word on
such a gargantuan subject..How presomptuous it would be! It just
happened that my posting cme online at the same time as some
emphatic protests from listees and urges to go off-list.
I just took the hint and declined to go any further on-list on
these topics.
However, you and everyone else on the list should know that I
welcome any intelligent discourse off-list.. Indeed, my mailbox
have been quite filled up lately...hardly the last word indeed!

Antoine

*************Another turn around on the "I will talk, I wont talk"
refusal/agreement to keep things off-line/on-line,
concluded/unconcluded?...............unless no one thought anyone would
notice. I am thinking our intelligence is being gravely insulted by all this
reversal and double-speak...........(damn good thing I have accumulated
sufficient armor and ammunition to protect my feelings and to maintain my
recognition of hoodwinking.........since it seems to be the only thing no one
is advocating limitations on my rights to possessing, isnt it?)*********
