Sorry, Mary, I didn't realize you were so vulnerable. You didn't mention any of this in our private e-mail exchange. In fact, you seemed confident enough to object in no uncertain terms, more than once, to having your forum turned into a series of advertisements. You certainly weren't shy about disagreeing with the Supreme Court, either. Saayyy, you wouldn't be attacking me in private and crying "Foul!" in public, would you?
But then, you weren't one of those who professed not to be able to distinguish between a vendor and a political canvasser, anyway. Or were you? I can't remember. The point of my little charade is, of course, that there is most definitely a difference between an advertisement and a political expression and everyone knew that immediately and intuitively withOUT any help from the Supreme Court. But you caught on to that right away, too. So I guess I wasn't really making fun of you, dear, just kind of amused at the vehemence of your insistence that advertisements have no place in your forum for exchange of political ideas. I quite agree. Forgive an old teaser for playing a sad little trick that didn't really fool anryone. - Guy Western the West Side > [Original Message] > From: Mary Baker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 7/15/04 12:28:50 PM > Subject: [StPaul] About Guy's post > > Guy wrote: Now, did anyone *really* need the Supreme Court to tell the > difference? > This one is real.
