Subject: Re: less parentheses --> fewer parentheses From: Erik Naggum <erik@naggum.net> Date: 2000/08/25 Newsgroups: comp.lang.lisp Message-ID: <3176196825546614@naggum.net> * cbbrowne@news.hex.net (Christopher Browne) | Such comments seem to point in a rather different direction than to | the conclusion that _Barry_ is filled with blind hatred. They seem | suggestive of hatred residing elsewhere. I guess you would blame the victim of hatred elsewhere. It's all too common for bystanders to do that, but that's the kind of thing that keeps the hatred going. Defend hatred, and you end up with people who kill because they can no longer control it and whole movements of people who blame some _group_ of people or just someone for every ill on the planet. Remember the lynch mobs? Guess who they would blame for their ills. You know this evil in progress when you see a false accusation that is not corrected, but instead reinforced, when criticized, and when the concept of justice is discarded in favor of following the hateful emotions. Barry Margolin has even admitted to be that kind of person previously. He has learned exactly nothing. #:Erik -- If this is not what you expected, please alter your expectations.
