its all rather confusing to me as I really didn't understand the incident re refered to - but it doesn't matter anyway - according to some here I don't really understand that much of anything - I am a confused Southerner

Unfortunately, I couldn't do anything about MMY's decision not to turn up in that room. So there you are, there's an example of why you should not take any of Barry's assertions as fact unless you can verify them from another source. His assertion above is not fact. , such as...wait for > it...herself, is more authoritative and should be paid > more attention to than others who did all these things. :-) Nor is this. > Then again, she still feels that her view of Mel Gibson's > film "Apocalypto" is the most authoritative, too, and that > her characterization of him as "Mel Gibson, Christian Bigot" > is accurate, *never having seen the film*. :-) > > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/126122 > > Follow the thread. It's very instructive as to who you are > dealing with... Ah, this is an excellent example of what I just said about its being wise to have more than one source for one of Barry's assertions. In this case, fortunately, we have the record in the archives. Barry doesn't expect you to actually *read* the thread--hopes you don't, in fact--but if you do, you'll get quite an education. > > ________________________________ > > From: authfriend <authfriend@> > > To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > > Sent: Thursday, December 6, 2012 3:46 PM > > Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: The Meaning of the Moola Mantra > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Michael Jackson <mjackson74@> wrote: > > > > > > Now that's the sort of thing that if I had said it would lead > > > to all sorts of scurrilous accusations towards me on the part > > > of some folks around here - Turq you must have a mighty > > > presence that they dast not speak ill of you > > > > Er, no.
