[Rhodes22-list] Into the Trash: wasElle's Gas (all kinds)

Well, I don't REALLY think this was paranoia:

"I've been on a short trip....(see travelogue ;^)...it seems as if the 
schoolyard bully waited until I left the country & then tried to start 
something."

Especially when the one below was addressed directly to me:

So, I'm wondering, if your name-calling allowed when it's "only" 
"schoolyard bully" and "petulant" and "worse than Ed ever was"

And while we're on the topic, who are YOU to decide that Ed was even 
BAD? You didn't like it, I understand. He doesn't like some of the other 
things that are said here, that's fine. Neither one is good or bad, but 
if folks don't want name-calling, I suggest that before they start in on 
someone else, they take a good hard look at their own actions.

You included.

Now, I promise you, no more ritualistic humping from you, and you won't 
get it from me.

Frankly, the thought of it is rather disturbing to begin with. I'm 
surprised you used it.


"
The discussions are enlightening. Your rants and

namecalling are not.
 
 I am beginning to sincerely suspect your capacity for
 intelligent discourse in light of your aggressive and
 uncalled-for attacks on anyone who does not share your
 philosophies.
 
 Enough. 
 
 Robert had a name for this behavior in the past: ritual
 mounting.
 
 You are not top dog. No one here is.
 
 Get used to it.
 
 Behave.
 
 I am interested in the debates; NOT in your petulant rants
 when you have nothing else to say.
 
 Jeez...you are worse than Ed ever was.
