Folks,

Someone else has already pointed out that this language is offensive,
and I was about to post a request that keith be removed from this
list to stop the continuing slander and abusive personal attacks.

But then I remembered somebody mentioning Godwin's law, so I looked
it up on Wikipedia, and I about fell out of my chair laughing.

But actually it is serious. It's not a joke when someone is attacking
you or bullying you personally, no matter who you are. So let me
be the first to say it - if the abusive behavior and language continues,
I want to request that keith be removed from the squeak-dev list.

Meanwhile, let's all stop feeding the troll.

Dave
