Guest guest Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Attilio: Actually, considering the inappropriateness of the hate-filled spew put forth by Mr. Theisen, I would consider my comments tactful, and in fact constructive. Mr. Theisen has been complaining of the problems with the world vis-a-vis his practice for quite some time, and many have tried to help him. In final analysis, however, it seems quite obvious now, post- " homo " comments, that Mr. Theisen has problems that no business advice could remedy. I will leave it at that. -Ben Hawes, L.Ac. >______________________ >______________________ > >Message: 7 > Tue, 25 Oct 2005 08:22:58 +0100 > " Attilio D'Alberto " <attiliodalberto >RE: Digest Number 1158 > >Comments like this are TOTALLY unhelpful Ben.

You know, I wish I could remember all the political correctness crowd's new set of " swear words " . I can't though. The new list came out after my short-term memory got even shorter. Not only that, a lot of this is regional and we are now speaking to the whole world on the web. Come to think of it, where I grew up when you wanted to be polite you used the word I used, believe it or not, instead of a couple of then more commonly used words that meant the same thing but were impolite then. Now you even hear the people involved using the words that back in the day we considered impolite to describe/identify themselves to each other. " Hey, you are a ******, aren't you? " No, I'm not. I am going to ask my techie guy to make up a pc filter for me if he has the time. He is a *lot* younger than I am and he most likely knows all of the new scolds. There was a list in a Windows program I used to have, but I don't use Windows any more. Have to find a Linux version. Regards, Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
