No, you posted publicly so you get a public
response. That's how it works.
First off, does this look familiar?

It should. It
appears at the bottom of EVERY MESSAGE DISTRIBUTED ON THIS LIST. I don't know about anyone else but whenever someone does
something stupid like that when the right way is practically screaming at them
it pisses me off for 2 reasons. Actually, both reasons are about the same but
from 2 different perspectives. To me, what that person did is indicative
of someone not giving the first twinkling of a damn about how to move and
interact in this particular community. They refuse to engage their brain and
insist that someone else do their thinking for them. Second, it's
indicative of a problem that our society in general suffers from and that
problem is laziness. I detest laziness. I detest people who ask me to think for
them and I detest people who have no desire to learn or become better as people
simply because it's easier to let someone else take up their slack. In my
line of work I can't begin to tell you how many people can't find the power
connector on their cable modems even though it's labeled uniformly on all our
modems, "AC POWER." I will invariably be asked "which one's the power? I
have 3 things back here..." When I tell people to shut down their
computers, invariably I'm asked, "So you want me to restart?" While I was
in school learning networking and Windows NT I worked for Boston Market (have
you heard of them?). I fielded this question about 50 times a
day:
"What does the Sandwich, side and drink combo come
with?"
I wanted to reach over the counter and
smack them. My other favorite was trying to get people to choose
side dishes for their meals. I would ask which two sides they wanted. I got one
of two responses uniformly. Bear in mind there's a huge menu right behind me
labeled "sides". I was invariably asked either, "What are my options?" or, "What
do you mean, right or left? I don't understand." These are the same idiots
who send unsub messages to this list without bothering to just do what they need
to themselves. My employers never care whether someone's stupid, smart or
anywhere in between so long as their money is green. In here, no one's
paying me to be tolerant of ignorance and, that being the case, I refuse to
smile and tolerate it. In this environment I find it far more beneficial to
tell people that they're a bunch of lazy dolts and then pray that they care
enough about the insult I just hurled at them to go look up "dolt" in the
dictionary. At that point they've taken their first baby step into a larger
world and might just discover that life in general is a lot easier and
a lot less frustrating when you THINK FOR YOURSELF.
Finally, if you don't want your inbox space wasted
by the open exchange of ideas and opinions here, YOU unsubscribe and get the
hell out, missy. I will NOT send anyone a private e-mail to convey ANY
information that is so readily accessible through normal use and
interaction on the list. And as for the "grow up" comment, it's the
real "grownups" in this world who have a real interest in educating themselves
and being productive in society. The asshat who posted the UNSUBSCRIBE
message is the one who needs to grow up, not me.

Subject: [ Creed Discuss ] Forgive and
forget
When that kid emailed everyone to unsubscribe, I saw the otehr list
members' response a mile away. So he made a mistake. Does that
mean 5 or 6 members have to jump down his throat or make some nasty little
comment? Grow up. Seriously, that's so rude. Someone w\could
have emailed him back privately and gavehim proper directions. Don't
waste my inbox space with inuslting each other, alright?
-Kitty
P.S. If anyone wants to reply to me about this matter, do it privately-just
to my email address-ianskitty@yahoo.com
-because this has nothing to do with Creed. Thanks.
