Joshua's right and you know it. I don't know Juliet very well but she has been nothing short of caring and nice about my work on DP - she's pointed out little errors I might overlook, and gently chided me in the right direction on how to fix them. I'm also PP'ing a couple of her books, which she was very generous enought to loan to me for work on. You, sir, are a troglodyte whose opinions aren't given much heed to many here. Maybe if you would learn to close your little mouth and give thought to what others say here you'd be in more of a position to have others listen to your opinions. There's a living, breathing person behind each of our email addresses and not everyone is going to agree with what you have to say. Jared Joshua Hutchinson wrote on 29/09/2005, 7:20 PM:

You, sir, have just crossed the line.
Marcello and I are fine targets. We put ourselves and our work out there. We snip back as hard and as often as we please.
Juliet, however, is the most even tempered, nice, moderate, polite, and wonderful person I've ever met on the Internet. DP is a wonderful place precisely because she ALWAYS looks at both sides of the argument, NEVER comes down on anyone harshly and is always willing to give people a second chance.
You have no idea how many people Juliet talked with privately to give you a chance to be heard the first time your showed up on DP. And she never told you that you were wrong or that your couldn't have your say. She only stopped you from disparaging the efforts of hard-working volunteers at DP.
All you did at DP was tell us we were "doing it wrong." That we were stupid in how we did things and that anyone should be able to see that your advice was the one true way. Yet, not only did you never step up to help fix those things that were wrong, you never even fully outlined ways that you thought they *should* work.
bowerbird, you are a slimeball and an evil, frustrated little man. And the fact that you DARE to turn your filthly mouth against Juliet only comfirms that better than ANYTHING I could say.
