On the crud the catholic church supports:
**Zur Seligsprechung von Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu, alias Mutter Teresa** Wie konnte eine fanatische Gegnerin von Abtreibung und Verhütung, die systematisch ihr Vermögen und die Natur ihrer Arbeit verschleierte, vor den kritischen Medien der freien Welt Bestand haben? *Erik Möller* ¹
The article also references the WikiPedia, I wonder whether this is ErikMoeller.
English reference:
*Mother Teresa: The Final Verdict* by Aroup Chatterjee, available online ²
NoufalIbrahim suggested I listen to Talat Mahmood ³ and Manna Dey. So I downloaded a few MP3s from Talat Mahmood’s website (run by his son). ⁴ Interesting old recordings. The local CD shop doesn’t carry them . . . or hides them well. ;)
I started to collaborate with somebody in the past weeks. He wanted to write a book and use OddMuse. After a few days it turned out that we didn’t quite fit. But instead of just letting go, this is dragging on. I must try to can the worm and DissuadeReputation. Perhaps I should just bounce all mails by this person instead of reading me. Reading them aggravates me... One technique I am using against people that aggravate me is the : Just make sure you spend lesss energy in your reply than in the original post. Make it shorter. Instead of asking:
=>
“What has this got to do with that? This makes no sense... bla bla bla bla”
Just keep it short:
“I don’t understand.”
or better:
“Huh?”
to the max:
“?”
If all participants follow this rule, then there will be a point when there is nothing left to write about. If only you follow this rule, then at least your flaming partner is wasting more of his precious time and energy than you are.

I’m going to steal the text of your Rule of Diminishing Replies and put it on MeatballWiki, if that’s ok with you. – SunirShah 2003-10-21 18:19 UTC

Have you been checking MeatBall:RecentChanges lately? I think meatball can benefit from your anti-flame experience again 😉

I still read Meatball on a regular basis. 😄 Given my relation with both SunirShah and RobertAbitbol, I don’t know if I have much to contribute, haha. :D
