Hey, bro'.
I'd like to suggest something.
WHay don't you write down,in a MS Wor document, what it is you actually believe a this time, and try to give it a definite structure.
That might prevent you from seeming to make insulting accusations, most of the time.
You are obviously a smart guy, with some avtually brilliant questions and statements, but you are all over the board, so-to-speak.
Please, if you want to communicate WELL, skip the diatribe, examine the logic of your questions and statements, and try to detach a little while reading what you'regoing to post BEFORE you post it.
I knowm it's a lot easier to just EMOTE AND SPEW when posting--I'm learning not to.
On the SGA site MovingOn, I made the mistake of over-examining others'statements, returning accusation for accusation, and insult for insult.
"Jules" posted a very long piece where she was attempting to answer what Maria had written.
I posted something ALSO a little long.
I was jumped on FOR MERELY BEING A FGA, was called "Uncle", a "stupid ex-hippie" without any right to be on the webpage, and without any care or understanding of SGAs.
Since "Jules" is an androgenous name, I thought I was being blasted by some rude and pompous guy, and got "dog-piled" by a bunch of very anry SGAs, who obviously had not gotten past the conditioned response of hating FGAs; period.
So-ooo...I said that to say this:
Consider your audience. "Nuff said!
GBY!
