Again, for the record, but not assuming for even a moment that it'll do any good, what you refer to above as abuse I regularly dish out to TMers is your attempt to negatively propagandize what I say. Here's how it really goes -- I make some criticism of YOU (Judy Stein) or LAWSON (sparaig), based on YOUR specific actions, and you character- ize that as me "dumping on TMers." It isn't. It's me dumping on YOU. I find *neither* of you terribly representative of TMers, although you both exhibit traits that I *would* associate with most TMers. On the whole, *MOST* of the strong, dedicated TMers I have encountered here on FFL exhibit either none or very little of the anger, arrogance, elitism and close-mindedness that I sometimes complain of in you and Lawson. Clear now?
