However, Don has tipped us off to what is really happening: we are voting each other off one by one until the day there will be one of us left in the JMDL. There are times to jump on things that are offensive to us and there are times to let it go. It is my firm belief that it we all need to stop having the last word. Right now, to quote Joni, "I can't even hear the fuckin' music playin' for the beat of..." the jumping on of each other in here. We can be right without having to say it. We can let things slide by. There has been so much hostility in here. Can't we just let some things slide for now? Can't we let things be? Too many folks are having enough of this place. Before we are all gone, can't we all stop being right and shelve our best salvoes and just be about Joni and about being friends before we drive everyone out of here? It will be cold consolation to be right and not to have the JMDL anymore. I want to hear the music again. I want to hear Joni. I want my friends to stop driving each other out of the JMDL.
