Re: Reply to Xxxx Xxxxx on making the private public

Jurriaan addressing Xxxx:

Let me first correct you Jurriaan that Xxxx's last name is not Xxxxx but
Xxxxxx.

Secondly, the above is an attack on her and you can count on that she
will attack you back. Of course, if you like, you can argue that she
attacked you first by saying this:

> But endless posts about one's vacation (or private experience)
> in Morocco does not really interest some of us here.

And even argue, as you did, that this was a post you made elsewhere, not
here.

What amazes me the most is that I am witnessing such a "debate" between
two people, of whom one is from Turkey, whose first language is Turkish
and even the word "privacy", which Xxxx actually did not use, had not
existed in the Turkish language until recently, although there are some
situation specific words that might mean that, although not exactly. And
I speculate that even the word "private" is relatively new to the
language, may be one or two centuries old, if that.

Another parallel "debate" I paid some attention to is between Julio and
Rakesh, both of whom appear to me very smart and knowledgeable, not to
mention that both Mine and you appear to me that way too. 

All of such "debates" are garbage in my view.  Not necessarily
content-wise but attitude-wise.

I have never been able to understand why people do such "nasty" things
to one another.

What is the point?

What are you trying to prove?

Why?
