This is what I would say to her if I was not wearing a muzzle of prejudiced segregation: "The next time you start a thread, kindly dispense with the proactive header insults and intellectual squalor. It simply reminds people that you are more focussed on carrying and displaying your anger and hate from auditorium to auditorium than you are in any supposed desire for dialogue. You always have the choice to be a control freak. And you have the choice to segregate people whom are not violating any of the laws of the cyber community. Hopefully that choice will be removed from you as it becomes recognized that segregation is wrong. But in the meantime, there is no need to preface your nasty plan with smirking and header insults. Initiating such attacks over and over again from thread to thread simply encourages others to retaliate in kind. If you are going to mistreat people and be unfair to them simply do it a la Baker--don't even tell them they are banned--just do your little thing. Do they really need to read it in your header for the umpteenth time that you don't give a s-it about what is fair, but reserve your right to exercise your hatred in an arbitrary fashion (or perhaps that is exercise your ever loving kindness in an arbitrary fashion!)?? Not enough satisfaction in that, perhaps?? People are getting tired of your insulting thread headers. We know what you intend. Just do it for God's sake. Do you really think that by pointing somebody you have muzzled to your "third paragraph" where you indicate that you will ban out of anger, dislike, prejudice, and arbitrariness...that you are providing some justification?? Getting more satisfaction?? Enough already. Use your headers to define a dialogue--not to throw out these incessant carte blanche insults. Everybody knows you will be ARBITRARY, UNFAIR, and PREJUDICIAL...and that you will use threads as a vehicle for segregation, silencing, muzzling...in a word...what you consider "winning". Inasmuch as you have told us this in every thread you have moderated and in every one you have not--perhaps you could just turn down the volume a little bit. People who are not allowed to talk to you (but still visit SI auditoriums to listen to others) ought not to be forced to listen to your insults in every thread prologue. Thanks in advance."
