I hope <DIV></DIV>>those I have offended can accept my <DIV></DIV>>apology. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>That said I would like to explain why <DIV></DIV>>I was upset. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>I value the meteorite list as it is a <DIV></DIV>>place where like minded individuals <DIV></DIV>>can share our enthusiasm for the <DIV></DIV>>subject of meteorites. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>I found the web site that Matteo <DIV></DIV>>mentioned offensive because it is <DIV></DIV>>taking the p--- out of someone based <DIV></DIV>>on the way they look or what they <DIV></DIV>>write or say. In my humble opinion <DIV></DIV>>good humour is no excuse for bad <DIV></DIV>>taste, no matter how well it is done. <DIV></DIV>>The sort of humour I enjoy is Dave's <DIV></DIV>>story about his last meteorite hunt, <DIV></DIV>>with its gentle irony and self <DIV></DIV>>deprecatory humour. I don't agree with <DIV></DIV>>making fun of other people, <DIV></DIV>>particularly in a public forum like <DIV></DIV>>the internet. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>To me the web site concerned <DIV></DIV>>represents anonymous hate mail. I <DIV></DIV>>haven't read the followups to my post, <DIV></DIV>>but I would be interested to know if <DIV></DIV>>anyone has owned up to authoring the site. <DIV></DIV>>They have abused copyright, altered <DIV></DIV>>the images then posted them with a <DIV></DIV>>smartarse commentary. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Is this the sort of thing other <DIV></DIV>>members can expect if they upset <DIV></DIV>>certain individuals? <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>my humble 2c <DIV></DIV>>chris sharp <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>______________________________________________ <DIV></DIV>>Meteorite-list mailing list <DIV></DIV>>Meteorite-list_at_meteoritecentral.com <DIV></DIV>>http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list <DIV></DIV></div><br clear=all><hr> <a href="http://g.msn.com/8HMBENUS/2755??PS=">Is your computer infected with a virus?
