Jackie, what I meant was, and I'm sorry I didn't make it more clear,
was that when Steve or anyone attempts to characterize the sociology
of list behavior, it is an important fact not to be pushed under the rug
that there ARE people intent on malicious mischief. Steve would have
us believe that there are only list authorities, a herd-like consensus,
and isolated victims. The facts tell otherwise. That's why I tried to
provide once again some of the details of the history of this feud,
which are also facts which tend to support my interpretation: that what
happened at poetryetc was an instance of that salient sociological
reality or fact which I was trying to point out to Steve.
