Well, gang, it finally happened. Exactly
nine minutes after I posted the following, my ATML plug was pulled. So
much for tolerance.

I found this
both patronizing and misleading, given the fact that what
Kahley was
apologizing for was NOT her original post but rather for not
taking the
matter private sooner. She wasn't apologizing for her original
post,
which was innocuous and attacked unnecessarily bitterly.
But this isn't
about female hygiene or sources of info anymore. It's about
tolerance
and respect for differing opinions. For her defense of Kahley, KC
was
kicked off all the lists. This is downright pathological.
I'm
curious, though, as to whether we will see apologies from the two people
who
DID engage in unseemly personal attacks (on Kahley and KC). Or does
a
double standard exist with respect to "list etiquette"?
I
again plea for tolerance and a tolerance that applies to
everyone.
