All I saw was what looked like a response to someone,
where the entire gist of what happened was completely
lost. I remember reading the line "expose the bitch"
and thinking, a) what the heck was THAT all about? and
b) if you disagree with someone about whatever, what
kind of a person needs to stoop to using this kind of
language, which proves absolutely no point except to
show the person who said (wrote) it as someone who
seems to resort to name-calling (immature) and who has
already lost his/her argument (nothing left to say).
Maybe I missed it because I was getting behind and
there was a lot of volatile stuff going back and
forth, a great deal of which I didn't understand and
didn't particularly care to read.
On the other hand, any posts from Debra that I've seen
are well-written, thoughtful and thought-provoking
and, whether you agree with her or not, she makes her
point well and without resorting to foul language -
which makes her a winner, as far as I'm concerned.
