I know Barry the same way most others do here. > First of all, there is not one word you have used to describe what I did that > comes from your experience.

This is my *opinion,* Robin~~ of course it isn't set in stone. I could care less if it's "believable" for anyone else or not. If you think I'm raving and making stuff up out of whole cloth, that is certainly your right. > I challenge you to tell demonstrate anything in what I wrote about your > friend which in any way whatsoever warrants any of the words you have applied > to my posts (about him). Many of your posts do Robin, in which you, over and over, refer to him in the third person and engage in other not-so-nice tactics. That is my *opinion.* > This is a serious moral and existential failure on your part to do justice to > the spirit within which I wrote those posts about your friend.

Just because you object to what someone has said about someone you like, It has nothing to do with "objecting to what someone has said" about Barry or anyone else. It's just basic fairness vs. tactics that are *not.* Methinks if you got over your need to twist what I wrote every which way and just looked at your take on Barry the way someone not privy to your every thought-process might, that maybe you'd understand better where I was coming from. Or not. Sal
