So Xeno, a little test for you. What do you think of the fact that Barry described a nonexistent response to a post of his? See the second sentence here: > As it turned out, they seemed to think that *many* of > my raps were All About Them. One person seemed to feel > that my description of how petty tyrants persuade their > toadies to brownnose them was All About Her. Go figure. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/351015 Here's a link to his "petty tyrants" post: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/350756 And here are links to *all* the responses that were made to that post: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/350760 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/350765 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/350786 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/350787 I'm just curious to see if you can actually contribute something to the discussion other than platitudinous generalizations.
