Russell,

I have no problem with your first post but your second post puzzles me.

If you had no trouble with my first post, why did you
comment on it?


You were commenting about my post and not vice versa.

In my second post I was commenting on your comment on
my first post.

Hence you, not I,
should have done some work and gathered data

I had. I've read RF's posts. Why did you "presume" I
hadn't?

(about my interaction with
Bob Ling) before jumping in with words like "gratuitous".

I didn't "jump". IMO it was gratuitous.

Why should I
care about your past with Bob Ling?

Because you presumed, falsely, that I "haven't seen Bob
Ling's choice of words". I have seen many of them and
I was suggesting you had had the opportunity to avoid
making that mistake, which you did not take advantage of.

Am I supposed to dig into the
"history" of every one who responds to my post?

If you want to make comments about things without
falsely "presuming", then yes.


Are you saying the only way to respond to Bob Ling is "your" way and no
other way? And you will agree only if I follow your way?

No, I just expressed my opinion about your way. Are
you saying I have no right to do that?


About being "off topic", I am indeed guilty. But that is a consequence
of an unmoderated group (I support a moderated group) and an
irresponsible poster and my choice of how to deal with him.

Best
Nag

Sure. And your choice is to add to the noise instead
of coming straight to the point and just telling RF you
don't think his approach is helpful to the NG. Fine, I
just wanted to point that out.

Cheers,
Russell
