Nice try, Barry. But unfortunately it doesn't get around the point that if what you really wanted was to warn people away from TM by posting quotes from FFL TMers, *you wouldn't make a big deal of it where the TMers could see it*, because then they might self-censor, and you wouldn't *want* them to do that. It would kill the goose that laid the golden egg, as it were.
The more you posture and bloviate here about what you claim you're doing, the more you confirm that *isn't* what you really intend. --- In [email protected], TurquoiseB <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In [email protected], TurquoiseB <no_reply@> wrote: > > > > --- In [email protected], "authfriend" <jstein@> wrote: > > > > > > --- In [email protected], TurquoiseB <no_reply@> wrote: > > > <snip> > > > > You can keep believing that I'm trying to "silence" > > > > you if you want.
