Ummm... "...abuse instead"?

On <Sat, 28 Mar 2009 13:40:34 -0700> Alan Mackenzie started with a
calculated ad hominem remark to Rjack:

"Please think about the dictum "don't be a dick".  Please also get out
a bit, socialise with people other than RMS and go for a reality check
on what GNU is."

On <Sat, 28 Mar 2009 16:25:12 -0500> Rjack replied in kind to Alan
Mackenzie:

"Now that you have repeatedly inferred that I'm a "dick" while
lecturing me on insulting people, why not go have a nice cup of coffee
and contemplate the meaning of 'don't be a hypocritical,
self-righteous prick'"?



My goodness Alan! You are self-righteous and hypocritical. Don't
want "abuse"? Then don't start abuse and then whine about retaliation.

1) Rjack doesn't start ad hominem abuse.

2) Rjack does (probably shouldn't) reply in kind.

I would remind you as I have Rahul, my NNTP server (Giganews) caches
over two years of searchable headers and messages to this group. Why
not try to keep your assertions accurate and free of hypocrisy?

Sincerely,
Rjack :)
