If I thought I could do something to lessen Patches' pain, I would.

I've been where she is ... overwhelmed, hurt, angry. It feels
terrible, and I don't wish it on anyone. My intention is to try to be
patient and to welcome her back when she's feeling better.

We all have bad days. Some worse than others.

Certain culture wear flowered clothing, especially head coverings, to
shield themselves from the evil spirits looking down from above. They
feel that the flowered fabric makes them blend into their surroundings.
This has resulted in US immigrant men from said cultures purchasing
flowered panties and mistakenly wearing them as hats.

You have never ****ed me off. I just think you're an idiot for calling

Thing is, the "chemical" used is water. Always has been.
I didn't read that whole thread, but all I saw was the mention that
there was no health reason for changing white sugar to raw. Where I
live I have to go to a specialty store selling foods from undeveloped
countries to get raw or brown sugar and I do, because some recipes need
the flavor. It is very pricey, too.
I think at time the insider chitchat does seem exclusive, but I think
most people don't agree with Sheldon, but rather tolerate him.
The Italian food police would take exception to your pizza and call you
to task for calling it pizza, but here whatever you do is OK.
AAMOF, there are many things expressed here or demanded here that would
stymie people from other countries. No point in getting mad over it.

That's weird! I always thought you were one of the regulars Patches. But I
don't think I've been here as long as you. I've never really noticed this
clique though, although I realized that some people had actually met each
other. There are some people that do make it hard on some of the new
people, but I don't think it's usually intentional. This is certainly a
much nicer group than some I've tried and will never go to again.

Yeah, that's friendly. People on rfc routinely call each other idiots
and no one can understand why patches feels uncomfortable here? *laugh*
Anyhow, the terms for vegetarian, pesco vegetarian, and other types of
diets seems to be somewhat fluid. On a Buddhism group I visited, pesco
vegetarianism was considered vegetarian. On Wikipedia, it's considered
semi-vegetarian. There's constant arguments about whether eating
eggs/dairy or not is acceptable. The issue is clearly not cut and
dried, except in your head, I guess, so it's difficult for me to see why
anyone who disagrees with you would be an "idiot".
Another day in Usenet, I guess.

Having read your posts on other ngs, I thought I'd look you up on
Google because your little outburst here sounded familiar. Interesting
that you have levelled very similar complaints about wanting attention
at others on other groups. Not just occasionally, or in the past, but a
few minutes ago. And I see that you have told people to get out of
other newsgroups, that they will never be part of the group, etc. Seems
you find lots of people on lots of groups to chastise and to call names,
too.
It's all on Google groups. Anyone who wants to can see it in the last
two pages of your posts, found by email address, sorted by date.
So I just find it interesting that you get so upset at patches, who
dislikes people acting cliquish and driving people away from newsgroups.
You got so upset you blamed it on her. But then I find that you
actually HAVE told people to leave newsgroups...
Kind of clears up what you're really upset about, doesn't it?

Don't know what that is. Might like it if I tried it.
I like ketchup, a smidge of sweet relish, and lots of
raw onion.

I don't use condiments on pizza. I get what I like

That would be good, but I like half and half Heinz

Amen. Survival on any ng means ignoring the negative posters,
disregarding their opinions, and post words of encouragement to those
who find themselves flamed by the jerks, expecially newbies. I enjoy
your posts and liked the pictures you used to post. I've been on here
less than two years and have been "jumped on" for no reason except
someone's self-righteous opinions of my cooking style. I've learned
much from so many and will continue here because there are so many
helpful people. ....Sharon

OK, what the heck, I'll play . . .

I lose my newsgroup access as of the end of today, so any responses
will go off into the ozone as far as I'm concerned :-)

Anyone who posts to a newsgroup should understand that they are posting
to a public forum. It isn't a private conversation. You post what you
want, when you want, and you read what you want, when you want. You
don't get to choose who responds to you, what they respond, or the way
the conversation goes. Basically, it's a free-for-all, somewhat similar
to standing on a street corner in a busy downtown area and making
statements or posing questions.

If your feelings are easily hurt, or if you consider any dissenting
opinions as attacks, this (and any other newsgroup) is not the place
for you. One needs a thick skin at times, especially if one is posting
an unpopular opinion or making an unsubstantiated claim. HOWEVER: if
someone disagrees with you or challenges you, so what?!?!? Either you're
wrong, and you learn something, or you're right and you can back up
your claims and convert someone else to your side.

My very first post to this group some ten years or so ago was a request
for a lime sherbet recipe. I had lost my recipe which used lime jello
and limeade. Some food snob replied that it sounded like an awful recipe
anyway and suggested that I find a better recipe. Now I suppose I could
have stomped off in a huff and declared that the regulars were mean to
newbies, but what would that have accomplished? And why should I care
what he thought anyway?

As a final note, in formal debate the person who makes a claim is the
one who is required to provide the proof of that claim. It's never the
responsibility of someone challenging the claim to prove that it isn't
true. That's just the way it is, and it makes sense. Think back to science
fair days. When someone challenges a statement it isn't (necessarily)
an attack, it's just standard procedure.

OK, I'm done. Consider this an attack if you want. It isn't.

I use Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning. It's mostly salt, but has red
pepper and other spices also. It's also good on mangos and corn on the
cob. Actually, it's good on everything.

We share our pizza. I like it hot and spicy, my wife doesn't. So I put
hot pepper flakes on mine on the plate, along with some parmesan cheese.
My wife doesn't use either.

Some people just like to live dangerously, I guess. Hell,
I've even been known to willfully snort huge lungfuls of a
chemical gas mixture including, among other things, nearly
a full percent of pure argon.

And besides being a DHMO junkie myself, I've also often
used pure monosodium monochloride in my cooking, and
significant amounts of isoleucine and phenylalanine.

Clearly, I need to be locked away for promoting the use of
such unhealthy and unnatural substances...

That's all very true - but when someone starts out by making
a claim, and then someone else not only questions that claim
but also provides solid evidence and reasoning for doing so,
for the first person to then try to hide behind a "hey, I'm not
here to spoonfeed you!" is a bit disingenuous, don't you think?

In other words, if you're going to assert something, you can't
really complain very much if someone politely asks to hear the
reasons behind that assertion - especially when they bring
contrary evidence to the table.

"Fishaterian" really sounds clumsy, though, don't

True. Murder is one thing, but crashing a dinner party is just plain
gauche.
