Hi Noel,
So, I'm getting the impression, from the
reactions about civility,
etc, that people aren't disagreeing with the characterization of
"rudeness" (which can only be meaning my posts). Can someone please
point to text in my messages which they consider "rude"? Thanks.
I've just read through a large backlog and so saw all the emails in
quick succession, and have then re-read from the archive. I can't point
to ones where you were rude. You politely disagreed with recollections,
e.g. from Deborah, giving references to literature, or statements, e.g.
Jon F.'s `LBL has never been part of UC Berkeley'. You may have been
pedantic, but you didn't make it personal, and I saw no rampant ego.
This is a history list and, though in living memory, much of it is
unwritten, vague, and contradictory. If we're not allowed to politely
disagree then we won't work to clarify.

Cheers, Ralph.
