If it was not your intention to cause offence, then why make this
remark? You did not single out an individual, therefore all list
members are implicated.

I have no problems with anybody commenting on the things I say. I do
object to somebody accusing me of being puerile which in essence is
exactly what you have done.

For you to deny that I am included in your generalization would now
require that you mention *by name* the person who you feel displays
the characteristics of a child; whose posts to this list are
suggesting a lack of maturity; who manifests an adolescent insecurity
and whose behavior is juvenile.

I doubt that the person or persons you single out will be pleased to
know that you regard their posts with such contempt.
