This is _so_ not appreciated (was Re: AMERICA, RIGHT OR WRONG?)

Guys?  I _extremely_ don't care whether America was "right" or "wrong"
in the context of this mailing list. I've been seeing inklings of a lot of you
throwing this back and forth (generally with Szabo on one side portraying
America as the great despoiler of Indians while Dawg and Atkinson are on the
other saying, "Get over it, already....") and I've already seen it blow up
into one major flame war in the last few days. I don't want to see it blow up
into another, and it's quickly looking like it's headed that way.

Get it off the list. Keep it off. I'm tired of it. I don't care what a bunch
of dead people did or didn't do, in the context of this mailing list. I don't
care who brought it to the list. I don't care who started it. I don't care
whose ancestors it was. I don't care what unrealistic lawsuits someone may be
contemplating against the federal government in order to waste a lot of time
and money to have a federal judge tell them to give us a fragging break. This
is a gaming list. Unless you're proposing SG or DS stats for Columbus vs.
Sitting Bull (yes, I know they lived about 400 years apart, I'm being
deliberately facetious), I don't want to see it on this list again. Ever.
Period. From either side.

Is there any part of this that anyone has difficulty understanding?

Thanks, Eric. Took the words right out of my mouth - I nearly posted
something last night, but that would have counted as Posting While Irritated
(PWI)...

Grand Summation of Human History: Everyone's anscestors were unpleasant to
somebody else. Get used to it.

Off list, guys.

IS THAT A FACT NOW?

Dawgie, you'd be easier to understand if you quoted some of the message you're
replying to.

Eric pointed out how OT, inflamatory, and irritating the whole recent set
of Yankee-bashing threads have been; I agreed with him. End of story.

And for the thousandth time - move the whole damn sorry lot OFF LIST,
please. This was, after all, Eric's main point.

Apparently. I would have thought all the discussion of off topic posts and
flame wars would have been caution enough. I guess I was wrong...
