Ooopsie, somebody's buttons got pushed again. Go figure. Good work, Barry!

Well, Barry can say that, but he knows it's not true.
Back then the TM critics--especially Barry--were very busy "stalking"
the TM defenders on FFL, and the latter were significantly outnumbered
by the former. There were constant, prolonged battles over TM-related
issues; both sides were much more militant than they are now. That's
why the TM defenders were making so many posts: we were under siege.
What I wrote above that Barry quotes was right on target.

"Effectively" is in the eye of the wishful thinker. And of course I
wasn't seriously proposing any strategy in what Barry quotes:

Judy Stein. All he had to do was up his quotient of posts criticizing
Judy and she goes batshit crazy, and now (ironically) is one of the
people screaming for posting limits again. >>/*
Well, I'm not "screaming for posting limits," as Barry knows. I said
explicitly that it was vanishingly unlikely we would go back to them,
for several reasons (and Alex has just confirmed one of them: he isn't
willing to take on limits again).
And as already noted in my earlier post, Richard's "criticisms of"
(read: lies about) me are the least of the problem. The rest of his
posts are mostly not that interesting, and Barry would never in a
million years suggest they were if he weren't once again turning to
the tried-and-true "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" tactic. It's
the volume of Richard's insipid posts and trolls and lies--volume just
for the sake of volume--that are making FFL so unpleasant. "Attention
troll" was Barry's entirely apt term for Richard not very long ago.

Whoopsie-daisy. We don't know how many are bothered by Richard's
excessive posting, first of all. They may not be speaking up because
they don't want to become one of his targets.
More importantly, Richard isn't "turning the tables"; what he's doing
is vastly unlike what I do: his attacks consist almost exclusively of
falsehoods. If I criticize somebody, I do it honestly.
And Barry knows this.
*/<< NO ONE is rushing to her defense. >>/*

*I don't need anyone to "rush to my defense." I've never had any
trouble handling attacks, especially ones that involve lies, as Barry

Uh-huh. We all know Barry has the siddhi of mass reading of minds,
don't we, folks? My guess is that except for a few people like Feste
and Share who have a big beef with me, Richard's posts (and my
responses, when I make any other than the macro) are being ignored.
*/<< Richard has, in fact, given the rest of us who've had to live

of the Year. :-) >>/*
Actually I've been "handling" Richard quite well, thank you, routinely
shutting down most of his various trolling lies with that macro
disclaimer and quickly refuting those that may not be quite so
transparently obvious. Once that's done, I usually just let him prattle.
And Barry's making quite the ass of himself by holding Richard up as
some kind of hero. What you're seeing is yet another of Barry's
elaborate "get Judy" stalking fantasies that he hopes to sell to
others. I think most everyone here is smarter than that.
