My guess is that the reason people "jump" on you and say nothing to Barry is not because you are a woman. It's because you give the impression of being in the grip of an obsession, and he does not.
I like your posts on other topics, and I think you are someone who has a passionate belief in justice and fairness. It offends you deeply when you see such principles violated. You are a warrior for truth, and I also think that you probably have a heart the size of New Jersey. But in the case of Barry, I wish you would just drop it. No one cares about what was said years ago on another forum. I can't see why you would want to waste so much time and energy on it. It just doesn't seem worth it. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "authfriend" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm not asking you to do this, but I'm pretty sure > that if you went back over our exchanges here-- > actually if you went back even further and started > with what Barry said about me before I got here--you > would have a rather different outlook on the situation. > > Again, I think you and others have been focusing on > what I say to and about Barry rather than what Barry > says to and about me.
