I like Steve, and have always liked him. He is generous and one of the more humble of the contributors here. I don't always agree with him but I admire the part of him that can laugh at himself, admit error and apologize. As to being a "generous supporter" of mine I am not sure what you are speaking about but I have always found him to carry an intention to be fair and he comes across as good natured. I am not sure what you mean by your second sentence. > > > > > ________________________________ > From: Ann <awoelflebater@...> > To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2013 9:02 AM > Subject: [FairfieldLife] Asstral [was Re: The Use of the Second Attention, > Pros and Cons] > > > Â > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Share Long wrote: > > > > So Judy, any criticisms for Ravi's over the top post below?ÃÂ Right.ÃÂ > > I thought not.ÃÂ Even though it was obviously way over the top.ÃÂ And > > it is the one that prompted Steve to respond to Ravi.ÃÂ But right, focus > > on Steve and me and our alleged wrong doings.ÃÂ Dredge up the past if > > need be.ÃÂ But definitely ignore Ravi's extreme over reaction.ÃÂ So > > much for friend's being able to speak frankly with each other.ÃÂ > > Each to our own opinion on Ravi's post.
