For the record, not that it matters, I am tolerant of whatever way 
people want to communicate, as long as it is respectful.  I try to be 
respectful, but when I see people becoming disrespectful it gets 
hard....  Though I still try.

I don't mind the 68 email from Caryn Ann. I don't mind the snarky emails 
from Sam Goldstein.  I don't mind the well-thought and generally 
diplomatic emails from Alex Merced or Joe Bishop-Henchman.  I get 
annoyed, however, with the constant belittling and berating from some on 
this list towards others.  I sure would love to see everyone working 
together in a generally civil manner.  I hope as we get to know each 
other in person at LNC meetings the manner in which we interact online 
changes. Because the lack of tolerance I see for like-minded individuals 
in this group is barely tolerable for me.  Sure, I may not want to be 
tolerant to Libertarians running for office expressing support for the 
use of force to usurp property from property owners, and I feel our body 
(or preferably our Chair) should make a statement against such things 
(especially when aid candidate is going to do interviews on RT or other 
media networks), just as I would expect my Chair (or this body) to make 
a statement against a Libertarian candidate supporting a eugenics 
program....   But, in general, I am usually pretty tolerant, and hope 
you'd all be tolerant.  But sometimes I wonder....  Just my two cents...

In Liberty,
K. Brent Olsen, Psy.D.
Alternate, Region 4
