[ Cc'ed to Bruce ] > This has to be the most silly and useless mailing group I have ever seen in > my 50 years of life, does a woman run it? > > bruce Hello fellow aquarium Hobbyist, Our friend Bruce seems deem important to transmit to us the following two points : . This list is silly and useless . It's state is due to female leadership Hmmm ... it's seems like a pertinent question for which I do not have a quick answer. I readily admit that. I have not thought about it and thus I can't pin-point if such might be the case. Now, what I don't do, is to insult this person because I'm not sure he's right or not. And what I won't also do is to witchhunt this man for voicing his free opinion. What my working brain refuses to do, is to mob-lynch a person because it had the audacity to put out an opinion that goes against the current society's PC attitude. Then, does this list as a discussion medium "sucks" ? Hell yes! It barely has movement, and when it does it's this kind of Amazon type diatribe. That's plenty clear to anyone with a brain with eyes attached to it. Now, is this fault of a female leadership ? Who knows. Probably more testing would be necessary. Probably a equal period of time under a male and a female guidance. This not being, I can't voice a based opinion. But does the list seem hindered by a female moderator who seems to fear healthy discussion ? Yes. Have I noticed the behaviour in other discussion lists in which PC, over-cleanness, and a force fed-friendship-flowery-no-hurt-feelings-buddies severely created an ambience that was so sterile that no fruitful discussion would come out of it ? Yes! Most important of all, I must voice out how abhorrent and repulsive I find the lemmings of the day who proudly brandish their flowery PC sticker and call for the execution of that poor guy. How low has humanity gone ? Have humans become so intellectually coward they can't do anything but to follow the current run-of-the-mill PC trend of the day ? Jeez, grow up intellectually, commit the sin of having your own thoughts, being a PC lemming is as bad if not worst than being a woman beater or a chauvinist pig - only that, instead of bullying women you're bullying an individual who dares to have ideas. How primitive and basic. God willing this "discussion" list will better itself. I sincerely have no hope. I do not know if a female is on the birth of this, but that this list isn't serving aquatic plants discussion but futile and shallow PC flowerish let's-all-be-friends sterile ambient arguments, yes, it is. If bringing a man it's what it takes, then for god's sake bring a man, who cares. Just don't institute a sick hypocrite system where there's a "girl & a boy" and the "boy" is in charge and the "girl" is there just so everyone can feel all PC fuzzy inside that a "girl" is there and we're oh so inclusive. And let us not all be defending the female just for the sake of the PC'ness of having a female. How sick and distorted is that ? What should matter is the welfare of the list, and if a man is what it takes, the by all means grab a man. What a pointless, senseless, Amazon diatribe. ------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please send mail to majordomo@thekrib.com with "Unsubscribe aga-member" in the body of the message.
