missing the point

You have totally missed her point about getting off anthro-l. She has a
very valid point. People insist on using anthro-l to preach their own
opinions about subjects which they would never discuss in such a manner
had they been face-to-face with the other parties in the dialogue. This
is very unfortunate. Why? Because it interferes with the friendly
environment which is necessary for a good dialogue. The result is that
a few get their high off making some (quite probably meaningless) point,
and many others just get turned off and gain nothing. Regrettably, this
is the norm on the Net.
Cheers,
Hugh
