In Reply to: If Covert goes... posted by Cygnus on April 03, 1999 at 14:43:01:
I support H2O and will stay. I feel your act of protest is ill-conceived. If Covert wants to come back s/he can work that out with H2O administrators. We all know that Rick has been at a breaking point for some time now. Regular participants on this board know that Rick uses good etiquette. We also know that for something or someone to push him over the edge he must be at a breaking point, probably for our sake too. You know good and well that many times Rick felt like he needed to drop his H2O administrative duties but he felt that he could not. He stayed for you, for me, for Covert, for all of us. We owe him more than the ordinary notion of loyalty.
On the other hand, Covert uses insulting and confrontational language seemingly on purpose and needlessly, and it is not unusual. I have nothing against Covert, but there is a world of difference between the manner of her/his manner and Rick�s.
You also ignore another point. Rick has quit. Covert should too, that is, either quit the board or quit the insulting style. If Covert quits the insulting style, eventually I am sure that H2O administrators will undue whatever ban has been placed upon her/him.
