Harriet wrote (about Leylan): > This also ties in with Steve R's remarks about most people not going out > of their way to put themselves in danger. I meant to toss in a few words on the subject of heroism yesterday. A recent article on the Carnegie Medal, which is awarded to "a civilian who knowingly risks his or her own life to an extraordinary degree while saving or attempting to save the life of another person," confirmed Andrew Carnegie's original perception. Which is that heroism is an impulsive act. Time and again, the honorees state that they don't consider themselves to be heroes. They saw and they reacted. I think that happened a number of times in B7. A character saw someone in danger and reacted to save him/her. Which is heroic, because some people wouldn't react; they'd slink the other way or freeze. While I'm muttering, I very much like this particular thought on heroism by Carnegie: "The false heroes of barbarous man are those who can only boast of the destruction of their fellows. The true heroes of civilisation are those alone who save or greatly serve them." Carol Mc

What always surprised me in Orbit is that - Avon hides a gun, Avon hidea a gun and Orac. SO why didn't Avon hide a teleport bracelet? Would have saved a lot of hassle. OK, it would have ruined the plot. M. _______________________________________________________ Get 100% private, FREE email for life from Excite UK Visit http://inbox.excite.co.uk/

SLASHER fanfic will give you a version of Avon which is not at all accurate. It is trying to turn Avon into a Spock figure. He is not, he is a dangerous psychopath. He is **not** the sort of person you want to emulate. PLEASE LEAVE THIS LYST NOW.

That is true. Debate on Freedom City is stifled. That "misdirected email" comment though is interesting. On the surface it seems Freedom City has a relaxed atmosphere, but behind people's backs they are all sniping at each other.

There is a subtle difference. She is trying to suggest now that Fiona, Shane and myself and "whoever" else may be saying the same thing are all the same person. This equates to basically saying that this view is being held by only one person. Wrong. > >have used in raising these issues and then responding to the view > >of others on this list without allowing for any proper debate of these > >important issues. She is agreeing that they are important issues. However what she is saying is that my posting style is preventing the SLASHERS from dealing with and stifling what it is I am saying here. However also note that this letter is a very sophisticated programming device. They've upped the ante. > >Neither can I condone in any way the actions you/Fiona/Shane/Whoever have taken or > >incited > >others to take against Annie's website. It is wrong. Again look what she is saying. Shane left this lyst six weeks ago but now she is saying that he has attacked Annie's evil website. I think Fiona's attack on Evil Annie's website was wrongheaded, but it was not done through malice, it was done through desperation. Fiona is an anthropologist. Secrecy surrounds SLASH because they don't want it debated. They say people who attack SLASH are homophobic, but Shane was gay. He described **SLASH** as **homophobic**. It is. > >Please don't assume that you speak for all non slash fans, Jenny - Interesting that you use my name here. > >you don't speak for me. No I don't, you are a SLASHER. Also note what she is now saying, earlier she said that she broadly agreed with what I was saying, now she says that she doesn't. > >Please don't presume to tell me whether or not it is "safe" > >for>me to be a member of this or the Freedom City list - that decision is mine YOU ARE A SLASHER > >to > >make and I choose to stay on both lists. YOU ARE A SLASHER. Why do you think this person is attacking me? Why not just ignore me or Killfile me? I'll tell you why. She is trying to discredit what I am saying. They don't what you to listen. This person is a PROGRAMMER. PLEASE LEAVE THIS LYST AT ONCE.
