[Blindtlk] Extremely! and I do mean, ex, tremely! offended by a comment on NFB Talk!

[justin williams]

Which is nearly all that counts.  Not totally, but if I'm not intending to
disrespect you, then that's one thing; I should maybe be given a break.
However, from what I remember, her message, and other messages on this list
from before have been sent with venum behind them.
 So, Eric's admonition is well placed. Justin

Agree. But disrespect is often in the eye of the beholder.

I agree with you. We should not be disrespectful to anyone on this list.

Disrespect and rudeness is just because you seen those questions zillion
times or herbs question to you is zillion times doesn't mean you have to
respond. And definitely if you're going to respond, be respectful.
