Thanks, Robin, for a dose of sanity.
I'm sitting here drop-jawed in amazement at the ferocity of reaction [of the
knee jerk kind] to Daniel.
There's a fairly heavy seniority trip being pulled here [noted in several
comments over the days, and also in your 'playpen' comment].
I don't know if Daniel is younger than most people on the list, but I get
the impression of a certain lack of experience. Perhaps the listees would
respond more kindly if he was less confident in his address and did some
forelock tugging. [... perhaps copious amounts of forelock tugging and some
bowing.]
I like the way he appears slow to take offence and injects some humour into
the exchange. I hope he proves to be durable.
It's interesting to see how a professed 'anarchist' acts when someone treads
on his corns. It makes me wonder about the relationship, if any, between
'anarchism' and tolerance.
Ah, the wonders of human nature. Poetryetc seems a lot like an interesting
social experiment where the actors write the script as they go.
