Peripheral issues of personality politics or emotions, taking place between you and him, are between you and him. It's not all interesting enough to render a judgment on. He can't actually stop any discussions. That means it hardly merits your outrage. The unenforcability makes his statement easy to ignore as an outburst of momentary passion. I suggest you join me in ignoring outbursts. You might also wish to ignore the ones that come into your mind, rather than typing them. I'm just saying it's an option available to you. -Eppcott To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to lojban-list-request@lojban.org with the subject unsubscribe, or go to http://www.lojban.org/lsg2/, or if you're really stuck, send mail to secretary@lojban.org for help.
