Actually, Rick, it's on the record. > Others (such as Cliff Rees) have > left FFL because of what they perceive as your attacks. That's why Cliff said he was leaving, yes. But if you were to go back and review the traffic, you'd find that he was *at least* an equal participant in our hostile exchanges, and that I held off returning fire in equal measure for some time, until it became obvious that he couldn't be de-escalated. Then I started letting him have it. My perception of why he left is that he loved to dish it out, but he couldn't tolerate having to take it (perhaps especially from a woman). For him to complain about my attacking him in response to his attacks on me is, well, laughable on its face. Cliff didn't make things up to anywhere near the same extent Barry does, though, nor did he constantly contradict himself; nor did he attempt to justify these lapses by portraying consistency and a concern for accuracy and fairness as functions of lack of spiritual evolution. I can't comment on the unnamed others you cite, obviously. But I rarely attack anyone without some kind of provocation. In any case, your remarks about people purportedly leaving because of my attacks are a non sequitur to the point I was making to Sal about Barry.
