Funny thing is, back on alt.m.t the TM critics repeatedly accused me of being a paid shill for TM, and I can't recall a TM critic ever expressing outrage. (I'm not sure Curtis was present on alt.m.t on any of these occasions, so this may not reflect on him.) <snip> > But there should be an equivalence of mud-slinging > tolerance. Well put. That's the point I was just making in my response to Barry (albeit not so succinctly). I confess that I dumped on Nabby as well, but it was more because of the absurdity of the charge than that it was "defamatory." Defamation that isn't at least somewhat plausible doesn't really qualify as "defamatory," in my book. It just detracts from the credibility of TM's defenders. <snip> > Emptybill's antivaj speel was highly amusing I > thought.

Yupper.
