Re: [MLUG] Called upon the carpet. Nazis

["Christian M. Cepel" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Nothing has been done so far except my boss asking me to call her (I'm 
still out with back surgery)

The message was indeed the Nazi one, and it was probably rather stupid 
of me to post here as I KNOW the one I attacked lurks on this list.

I need to make the same apology I made in my response to my boss, here 
as well.

It's been established that I ramble.. The letter this excerpt is taken 
from was 7 pages long, and I was trying to be brief. I'm really working 
on the problem.

========================================================
Sincerely, Christian M. Cepel.

P.P.S, my use of the term Nazi was probably insensitive to those who 
suffered under true Nazis, and inappropriate to apply to [Name Deleted]. 
I have however used the word Gestapo, and I will not apologize for it. 
There was a time that I was PADLOCKING (no joke) my machine closed and 
password protecting the BIOS, Startup, and Operating System for what I 
felt were very justifiable reasons. Anyone who behaves in a manner to 
engender these feelings is a Gestapo, or Gestapo member. I hereby 
apologize for my inappropriate use of the word, which in today’s society 
has lost much of it’s original connotation, but is still inappropriate 
for me to apply to anybody. People bandy about the terms of Hitler, 
Fascist, and Nazi like they are nicknames and are too stupid to even 
know the definition of or connotation behind those words. I added myself 
to that group, and am ashamed for it.

========================================================

Thank you for your kindness regarding my Wiki messages. I should state 
that it's not educators that shut me down, just mailing lists 
sometimes... not so much this one, more the ABCusers and similar.

But who can blame them. Nobody wants to endure my rambles.
