[Reader-users] trial

[David Andrews]

Will:

In the U.S. we have a saying that  goes something like this -- "you 
can catch more flies with honey then vinegar."

Simply put, you will accomplish more if you are lest confrontational 
and negative.

Yes, sometimes you are right, but sometimes you are 
not.  However,  you are so sure you are right each time that you post 
messages in a manner that antagonizes others.

Gary Wunder, the Moderator of this list is one of the most polite and 
diplomatic persons I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.  And ... 
for him to post a message to you, where he is clearly frustrated, is 
shocking to me.

You can post what you want, and act as you will, but please know that 
there will be consequences.  People react to you, sometimes violently 
and negatively, and this prevents them from hearing what you are 
saying -- even when you are right.
