Re: TI-CALC flames
Even though I don't presonally like the ti-files, I feel that this was
totally uncalled for (see quoted message), especially to this
mailing-list/newsgroup (yes, it's a newsgroup too
bit.listserv.calc-ti). I'm sure other people will respond to/flame this
so, i'll let them use all the harsh language, but I'd expect a little
more maturity from a student at the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign. If an apology is not posted to this mailing-list by
friday 7/25, I will report this abusive email to the Student Computing
Staff <manager@students.uiuc.edu>. If anyone else found this email to
be abusive/offensive, i would advise them to do the same.
Sincerely,
mortis
Note: Notice, no insults, profanity, or eccessive capitol letters were
used. This is not intended to be a "flame". I see it as a mature way
to deal with this email I feel to be abusive and inappropriate. This
message is being sent to jeffrey steven bunds <bunds@STUDENTS.UIUC.EDU>
and <CALC-TI@LISTS.PPP.TI.COM>.
