eloquent and well stated Evelyn

i don't care what barbs are the 'problem' but the FOAD? ott in my books
and inexcusable

ya, i've told folks to FOAD but they REALLY needed that line (baseless
lies and such)

i see there is a perception problem between "being treated they way YOU
just treated someone and the response YOU get being interpreted as
'attacks' when they are simply replies in context" and, no, I'm not
saying Evelyn "you" here
