Ravi had been here only intermittently and didn't necessarily plow through all the posts when he *was* here, so he may well not have seen whatever you're referring to. In any case, if he had really just been taking cues from others, he might well have taken his anti-zarzari cue from *Emily's* post. Oh, but Emily took her cue from me, right? Ooops, no, wait. My first response to your exchange with Barry was very mild, hardly denunciatory. It wasn't until Robin took after you big-time that I used the term "slimy" to refer to your post to Barry. And by that time Emily had already given the two of you a very thorough tongue-lashing, completely of her own accord. And Ravi didn't start going after you until you'd come back after your little vacation. That was *after* you'd already made several posts attacking me, but before I'd had a chance to respond. So I'm afraid your theory just doesn't fit the timeline. Too bad. > No clues The term you want here is "cues," not "clues." > to take from Barry here. This is a a again your insidious > insinuation. It's a reasonable assumption, given how many times Barry's used it (you responded "Bingo" to one such post); and Curtis has also used it quite recently.
