Niel Jones' response to Ron Gatrelle

[Kondla, Norbert FOR:EX]

Yeah, me too. I was "grossed out" by Neil's personal attack but this is not
the first time this has happened on this list. I hope the list owner is
taking note of this unwarranted and really rude behaviour.

Regarding Neil Jones' response to Ron Gatrelle.  I think Neil missed Ron's
point in a very big way.  Ron said he was being sarcastic and "ready to be
misunderstood".  OK, Neil jumped on this one and went overboard.  I usually
try to stay out of personal cross-exchanges, but Neil's post took the cake.
I thought this was a discussion group to share information, not get uncivil.
Sounds to me like someone else on this list is trying to attract attention
to themselves.   

Is it too much to ask people to make it a habit to "reply to sender" rather
than to the whole list, when getting personal?   

In case anyone misunderstands me, this is not a personal attack.  I'm just
asking for a little civility on the group. 

By the way (excerpts from Webster's Deluxe Unabridged Dictionary): 

"civil - polite, urbane" 
"civility - politeness, consideration, courtesy" 

Thank you, 
Harry Pavulaan
