<guffaw> So when Ruth leaves claiming she couldn't tolerate my posts, I drove her off. When Michael leaves claiming he couldn't tolerate Barry's posts, he did so of his own volition. > I don't recall anyone else at the moment, Judy. I guess you missed Barry's post to Ruth: "Judy has a history of attempting to drive any strong woman off of any forum she is part of. It started back on a.m.t., and continues to this day."

As I said: People have reasons for making the decisions they do. Michael's reason was Barry's nastiness and dishonesty. Obviously that doesn't mean he didn't leave of his own volition, any more than Ruth having me as a reason means she didn't leave of her own volition. > If that's not what you meant, all the posts you've wasted > on this silliness have been even dumber than usual. Sal, Barry made the false accusation, first, that I tried to drive strong women off the forums I was on; then when I pointed out that quite a few folks have left forums because of Barry, citing Michael (without naming him) as an example, Barry falsely claimed I was lying (and went on and on and on about it until Michael, bless his heart, spoke up and confirmed what I had said). *That* was what was dumb. And your comments, I'm afraid, are even dumber.
