I don't believe I have. Others have been involved in the laugh-attack debate. I have not said anyone was attacking. Including barry. I have said, 'hey guys, lets focus on substance.' I just wrote a post, saying one has to buy into being a victim, buy into being "insultable" to be (or feel any effects from) some venting, unstressing, or venting by others. I don't buy into any of that. Who is criticizing others saying "that's an attack?" Not me that I recall. Point it out for my illumination if I have. ------------------------ Yahoo!
