As I said before.. the man made 3 intelligent posts..
  not FREQUENT nor SUDDENLY since he only commented on an existing  
thread..

Mark didn't mistake anything. You were questioning his right to  
participate on this forum pure and simple. I personally question your  
right to have taken this upon yourself with out first discussing the  
use of this forum with others who have been on it longer than you  
have (myself included except for a brief period)

Again, the man had made only 3 posts. You say he tossed grenades and  
walked away. Drew.. you basically chased him away with the insulting  
position you took with him (yet you can't seem to understand). One I  
do not concur with.

I don't consider resolving whether a list is inclusive or not to be  
minor nor am I comfortable with the charged language you're using in  
discussing these events.

And in this case it meant go some where else it appears. Autonomy  
doesn't exclude us from community. I would really like to see others  
on this list follow suite and acknowledge to Mark the  
inappropriateness of the treatment he got.

I was at a meeting in Mike and Marilyn's home and someone (I think it  
was Jim) asked why Greens had such a hard time attracting people. I  
offered my 2 cents in that I saw them as quite cliquish.  I wonder  
how cliquish we appear to Mark at the moment.

And another thing about the Greens was "twinkling". The first time I  
saw twinkling I almost ran out of the room. It almost seems like a  
desperate attempt to be different. Anyway, it's really too weird for  
my blood..and I am a VERY weird guy :-)


Peace
