Hi Bill --

>Depends who you're dealing with. Some would take it this way, but rest assured most consider it a victory. It clearly spells out just what level of intolerance one is dealing with. IOW, it's a mark on the filter-user, more so than the reverse. HTH.

Hi Karl,

This is an interesting viewpoint. In light of this, I would be interested to respectfully ask why you feel this way?

Since one of the purposes of this forum ( and I assume most/all forums ) is to establish and promote communication, it would seem to be counterproductive to communicate in such a manner as to ( deliberately try to? ) have oneself placed on another's twit filter, thus inhibiting or completely cutting off communication.

But who's communication are you cutting off -- your's or the twit's? Think about it -- a twit filter really comes down to one of those monkeys in the lineup ("Hear no evil"), sitting there with his hands over his ears. By using one, you've made a monkey of yourself from both the twit's perspective and that of many other participants.

Part of our "human-ness" is our ability, in fact our sheer joy at times, to be counterproductive! Don't loose sight of that. (You're not an engineer, are you? <g>)

Later... Karl
