I shall have to concur with Siegfried. While Steve may have rubbed a few reader's, especially Erik's, feelings the wrong way with the comment about leaving this country for not displaying the flag on the 4th, having Erik calling him a name that begins with the letter "p" is similar to using the "n" word when describing a person of color. As far as that goes, isn't Abu Dhabi one of those resort destination places that has year-round indoor snow skiing and man-made resort islands in the Persian Gulf in the shape of palm trees? Steve should have used another, less hospitable locale - like Syria. ________________________________ From: Siegfried Jachmann <siegfried@jachmann.org> To: Utah Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Thursday, July 5, 2012 12:25 PM Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Peace and Love Since you asked. I think I followed the entire thread. I did not see one thing in Steve's message I found offensive. You Erik, OTOH, were highly offensive and I think owe an on list apology to Steve especially but also to the list. On Thu, Jul 5, 2012 at 12:04 PM, <erikhansen@thebluezone.net> wrote:
In our conservation Steve thought his 4th of July post would have been a fine facebook post. Does everyone in SLAS believe this would be non offensive enough to post on the SLAS facebook page? He has not understood a word I have said.
Erik
Good morning everyone. I wanted to let you know that Erik and I have made peace or at least we are working on it "off list". I would encourage that no one be banned over this trivial event. I would think a warning for language someone feels is offensive may be justified. I have received those warnings in the past. It has encouraged me to keep a civil tounge when I otherwise might not have.
