You don't know me either Ivan, how far does this line of reasoning go?
There it is. Believe or not believe, or reserve belief, it's your world view.

I agree. I don't think he's a Dr either (though he may play one on TV). Neither
do I think he's a fraud nor a huckster. Nor do I believe cats type newsletters.
I AM glad to hear that these terms are not part of the language of character
assassination as pointed out recently. I will thusly reserve their use for other
assignations.
Anonymity on line is not a bad idea, nor illegal. It's quite common, really.

I know about your feelings, Ivan.
BTW, some very interesting products have been added lately (I'm a satisfied
customer), but I digress...
My objection holds to "character assassination" when the subject cannot input to
the slur. It is a reprehensible trait, and should not go unchallenged.
This topic has changed enough to move it to the OT list.
