I think most people do what I do. They skip posts which they suspect are flame wars. You, Judy, and Lawson are all capable of writing things worth reading. From my perspective, you do so more than the other two, especially since you began trying to abstain from trashing Judy. But whenever I sense you're doing that, I hit the delete button. I have neither the time nor the interest to read that stuff, and I suspect most others would concur. Judy is also very capable of writing worthwhile posts, but in addition to her feud with you, she gets on people's nerves for being such a stickler. Lawson's only sin is his compulsion to comment on every post without snipping and usually without contributing much. So my rule with him is that if I can't read what he's said without scrolling, I delete. Remember that story I posted about a week ago which I entitled "A Story for Judy and Barry"? Neither of you commented on it. There's the solution. If the other person trashes you, ignore them, no matter how much or often they do it. If you can't ignore them, don't even read their posts. If you get FFL by email, set up a rule to send their posts to the trash. Out of sight, out of mind. I think all three of you have enriched FFL and I would hate to see you leave. Many wise people have said that the urge to criticize others indicates that there are aspects of ourselves we need to look at. ------------------------ Yahoo!
