[Rhodes22-list] Complaint to List Admin

[Brad Haslett]

Slim,

Well, at least you get extra credit for making your view public and
for not taking a back-channel approach, but you are wrong. I don't see
a man defending his reputation vigorously as engaging in vitriol.
This group is no different than any other and is certainly capable of
"gang behavior", and quite frankly, several of you have ganged-up on
Herb as of late, including you Slim.

"If you seek perfection, look in the mirror.  If you find it there,
seek it in others".  M. Forbes

Is what you are asking a sneak preview of the Fairness Doctrine? I
don't like it already!  To my knowledge the only self-admitted
"troll" on the list has already departed.  Herb is no troll.

Slim, you and your comrades do what you think is best, but I think
you're being unfair and selfish.

Brad
