Maybe a cursing tax would be better. Why is it when people can't get other people to come around to their way of thinking or can't express their ideas well, instead of stopping and trying to figure out what they are really trying to say and how to say it they just get frustrated and start cursing at each other? It accomplishes nothing besides making people angry and then they won't listen to what you were trying to say in the first place. I don't enjoy flame wars. If I wanted to hear people yelling obscenities at each other I would go back to High School or join the military (no offense intended to any enlisted List members). I want to learn from other people and this List has been and should be a place for exchange of thought and helping others get their vans on the road and keep them there. That is why I have stayed out of this "smog" topic and will continue to stay out of it until the discussion gets civilized again. Thats my 2 cents Ken Wilford John 3:16 One of those annoying religious fanatics who come to your door and pester you 'cause they care about you. :) |
