I'm sorry Rick, but she clearly does not use the offensive language that Turquoise has used against her, but this point is ignored by the anti-TM people. I personally don't mind biting back at someone that lunges at me, and I do, if they strike first, but it is very clear that she has been civil in her discourse, whereas Turquoise has been quite disgusting and offensive to her. I think you should at least acknowledge that. OffWorld
