No Barry, think again. This is not about the hitting. What Vaj initially
brought up before my time here at this forum was not about the hitting. What
you are bringing up now is not about that either. It is about punishing Robin,
which is fine if that is what you want to do. But tell it like it is. You and
Vaj are not interested in getting "justice" for those who were apparently hit
in seminars, you are not about ringing the bells of truth so that some wrong
can be rectified. Vaj is long gone and presumably has taken up tiddly winks or
badminton rather than remain here at FFL. You, however, are still here and
think bringing up this boring and irrelevant subject is important. But admit
what it is you are doing: you got pissed off at Judy and I about two days ago
and all of a sudden this mouldering subject reappears. You are a desperate
person. Not one molecule of one human being reading this forum or not reading
this forum gives a shit about the subject. Nor do they care about your personal
dislike of either Judy, Robin or myself. Everyone has seen it all before, ad
nauseum, this ongoing bickering. Surely you have some new French delicacy to
sample or rare vintage wine to sip, you are in Paris after all. But one thing
is for sure, and people take note, it doesn't matter if Barry was lying in the
very bosom of God, he would still find a reason to pick a fight or spit at
someone.
