[meteorite-list] The red skein of aggressiveness

[Mark]

"Those who stay silent while
being called names are cowards."

Often it is better to stay at the level of civility one is wanting others to 
expect from oneself than to lower oneself to the base and crude levels which 
I have seen some on this list lower themselves to. And if that means being 
silent, because one cannot respond without the crude use of explicatives and 
threats on the list, then let the crude and base think you a coward while 
those who know you will think much better of you and even sometimes come to 
your aid in a manner befitting the levels of education represented on this 
list.
