Hi Jas I think everyone is staggered by this crap. All I can say in his defence is that John Fulton (JF ROXY) sometimes lights the fuse just to see the explosion.

When Mr. Fulton's nonsense surfaced yesterday I immediately commented on it, in private, to a list friend here. I was reluctant to contribute any comment to Mr. Fulton in public or in private because the entire post was so clearly a rather sad way to garner some attention for himself. And as long as it had been greeted with a rather stunned and disapproving silence, I was going to avoid throwing any attention his way (because either positive or negative no doubt thrills him). I am, as many of the long-timers know, not afraid of, uh, lively discussions or espousing unpopular opinions. But I would never stoop to racial slurs in order to spark a discussion. It shows, in rather stark relief, a lack of imagination. Deary me. And this is not political correctness talking--it's respect for others, pure and simple. Mr. Fulton, if there is some sort of music-related explanation you could provide in order to explain your comments, I am sure you would find a captive audience here in Avalon.

Not sure where my seats are, as I don't know the venue, hopefully they will be good. I tried to buy them the minute they went on sale, but Tbluster's web site and phone order system were both down. Thanks for the Welcome, from those that send Welcomes. I don't know why I hadn't subscribed sooner, as I've been online for years. I guess I just can't get with these "word processor" things. ;-). - -------------------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ End of avalon-digest V4 #374 **************************** ======================================================================== For further info, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: info avalon-digest
