I am asking you—again—please do not post to me.

I have made this request several times.

Please have the courtesy to honor it.

To: Running On Empty
Two things:

(1)The RM entity posted that s/he could not control who posts to whom. Some posters here think that if they CAN do something it is RIGHT for them to do it. So they do not honor requests to be left alone. "If you can't stop me from doing it, it is in accordance with God's Law for me to do it" seems to be the moral principle.

(2) Suppose that whenever I get poked I say, "Please don't poke me." Then suppose that the person I say that to persists in, ah, pokery. We can conjecture that being asked to stop poking meets a desire or need. What need is met may possibly be indicated by the preceding discourse on Sado-Evangelism. Further support for the conjecture is provided by bizarre and forced arguments that there is some kind of religious duty to cause pain to people who disagree with you, whatever the outcome.
