So that's the next week on this thread, the Reader's Digest Condensed version, without the profanity. Can we just skip it now? ======= Egad. Afraid of another Marnie rant? I did it already. That was it. I love Paul's pics and his critiquing of my photos, and I think he likes my critiquing of his, but we are at two opposite ends of the political spectrum. In real life I wonder how we'd actually get along. :-) So frankly if he makes a comment that I really, really, really disagree with I gotta comment. Just to keep it on an even keel. It was bound to happen someday. :-)However, we respect each other so I seriously doubt we will get into a flame war. Anyway, I did it. It's over. I now limit my "rants" to about one post. (Okay, maybe two at the most.) Because, of course, except on photos, some of us will never agree. Hope you get the list problems fixed soon. It must be stressful. ;-) Later, List Guy, Marnie aka Doe Eternal vigilance means speaking up even when it makes others uncomfortable. It means not letting it "slide."
