Re: [recoznet2] For Your Eyes Only (WHOOPS)
I heartily agree with Rod on this. Laurie has proved his (I'm punting, too, here) credentials over and over on this list. At the very least, as we're moving on past Karen Crooke, let's not allow her to claim any scalps. And any reading of Laurie's postings would see that, although they're justifiably passionate, he doesn't engage in intemperate "attacks". The whole idea of "attacks" is pretty subjective, anyhow, and unless there is actual invective involved, I think we should be a little more tolerant of our own (and perhaps a little less tolerant of the genuine baddies?)

Re: [recoznet2] For Your Eyes Only (WHOOPS)
Has anybody counted how much mail has been generated through this fool or responses to his/her posts?I can't afford the time to follow this crap. She/he is achieving exactly what he/she is trying to do. I think I smell a gundji. Discussion has been centred on reasoning with the unreasonable. I refuse to open any thing with him/her name on it or dealing with topics raised by her/him Track him/her down and transport him/her to Antartica to monitor the habits of penguines where everything is nicely black and white.

Re: [recoznet2] For Your Eyes Only (WHOOPS)
I have never had the occasion to speak to others on this list, but always read it with interest. Being an African American graduate student (Psychologist), and interested in Indigenous issues (including Aborigines), I find many items of interest in your conversations. This time I must agree with several of your posts that you have let an obvious instigator divert you from important resolution and conversation. I had NEVER received so much email from recoznet! I hope you invite Laurie back.
