Judy, when I consider your saying that I've "(foolishly) trying to be *nice* to" turq for less than 17 months and remember that you've been foolishly arguing with him for more than 17 years, then I don't feel so foolish any more.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Scenes One Sees While Peoplewatching In Avignon
Edg, I was thinking something similar about DSM labels. Meaning if Poster A really thinks that Poster B has an affliction from DSM whatever number, why would they ridicule and or malign that person? Isn't compassion more appropriate? BTW, I'm not sinless either but at least I don't rag on people for things that might be largely out of their control.
