As for the un-named (we all know who you're talking about, Shambles... how disingenious) Mudcatter who started the thread on Racial No-No's, AZIZI exhibited several qualities you might emulate:

   1. When challenged about particular statements she did not:
       Endlessly ignore them with no response
       Insist that she never writes anything that isn't exactly
       the way it should have been worded
       Respond by cut and pasting someone's elses post, as proof
       she is right
       Whine that she gets no respect
      

   2. She did:
       Rephrase and clarify some of her statements that were
       challenged
       Aknowledge that perhaps some of her opinions were just
       personal and perhaps (Gasp!) wrong
       Indicate an openness to reconsidering some of her own
       opinions

And your response to her admission that perhaps her attitude on banjo needed revision? A playground "Nyah, Nyah" attitude, cutting and pasting her sincere admission as further proof that you are right.

If all of these qualities in the Racial Non-No's thread make AZIZI "nice" I don't feel so bad about being called "nice." Not that you would ever call me "nice" to my face...
