Betreff: issues on GA list

Alexander,

I find it is unacceptable that Jersey is unable to misquote me in such a
manner on the GA list.

While I may be 'new' to the list I find his tone insulting and also an
excellent method to drive new people away from this highly dysfunctional
group.

While he may not have 'broken' the rules of the list his blatant misquote is
more insidious than an out right insult.

This is an FYI and I will await his reply to my message.

Take care

Steven Heath

It is obvious that you are referring to me in this paragraph.

If so then I suggest you reread my post as I said nothing of the sort in the
manner you have quoted me.

Also before one uses (sic) I suggest that your own posts should be accurate
with regard to grammar. This post today had numerous grammar errors in it
(not the first either).

Also perhaps you should learn the common English use of '' around words and
their significance BEFORE editing and paraphrasing quotes of people
inaccurately.

Summary: Do not misquote me without stating you are misrepresenting me. Do
not use (sic) when you posts are full of grammar errors.

I expect a statement that you misquoted me on purpose to me sent to the
list.
