[meteorite-list] Quit your whining!!!!!

[Edward Hodges]

I know Steve Arnold posts a bunch of emails, however what really annoys me 
are the posts that follow when you have a problem with Steve just simply for 
trying to be an active member of the meteorite community. He is as 
enthusiastic as I wish I was about anything, and I think that's awesome. 
Sadly, you who post your evil comments about Steve are just driving 
yourselves, and my inbox crazy. If you haven't figured it out yet, Steve has 
no idea what you are all pissed about, and he just doesn't get it. To him, 
the list is a way to communicate about all things meteorite. Essentially 
that's exactly what the list is for. You few bullies just fill my inbox with 
your hatred and I'm just plain sick of it. I've known for years that the 
community of meteorite people are some of the weirdest, oddest, off- the- 
wall people in the world and I embrace that fact. Some of you are really 
neat people with a real zeal for life and adventure, not to mention some of 
the smartest people I've ever met. That said, many of the people I'm 
speaking of are what I call "social retards". Really smart, not too much 
common sense and really terrible people skills. It's like a never ending 
cycle with you people: first it's infighting with Casper, then it's Matteo 
and Farmer going at it, now it's pick on Steve. Are you aware that you can 
block his email address, or anyones for that matter? Does it do any good to 
spew your unbecoming hatred in a public forum upon a guy who's basically a 
curious kid in a candy store? Get over yourselves you bunch of middle-aged, 
fat-ass, trekkie, couldn't get laid in a morgue, social retards? Couldn't 
you be watching Dr. Who or building a phaser or something else besides 
acting like a total ego-maniac ass and filling my inbox with all the baggage 
that's left over from when a kid picked on you in Junior High, or Susie 
wouldn't go to the prom with you? Yeah, I see the kettle and It's frigging 
BLACK as night. Think about it. Thanks.
