I've been ripped to shreds privately in the last day or so for daring to suggest Thursday that Joe and Gary "take it offline, please," as well as for my subsequent apology. I guess I struck a nerve, and if I had any sense at all, I'd just throw up my hands and let it go. <br><br>But this "a.k.a. big bertha" shit demeans Gary, demeans Vision 2020, and demeans whoever wrote it. I find Gary's politics loathsome and I'm pretty sure he's not dying to spend more time with me, but I'll risk pissing you all off, again, by objecting to the post below. <br><br>Further, I don't think for a moment that Gary actually has any intention of engaging Joe in Friendship Square on any day. "Baiting" comes to mind. This has taken on a life of its own -- erroneously, in my mind -- but whether it happens or not, both of them deserve better. I made my point as someone who's learned from my errors, not as someone whose participation and conduct here is always impeccable. <br><br>Let the ripping begin. I care about this forum, and on it I've made much bigger mistakes and missteps than gently suggesting that two combatants take it outside before real damage occurs. I'll risk it again here.<br><br>Keely<br>http://keely-prevailingwinds.blogspot.com/<br><br><br><br><br><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Sat, 31 Jan 2009 12:17:41 -0800<br>From: gray.treecrab.aka.big.bertha@gmail.com<br>To: vision2020@moscow.com<br>Subject: [Vision2020] Testosterone Reality Check<br><br><style>

hopeful sign that he has finally realized that it is high time to be fitted with a
bra.</font></div>

<div><font size="2">On the other hand maybe this Freudian slip is really indicative of Crabtree's sexual feelings toward Joe Campbell, and the role he dreams himself playing
in such a relationship. Maybe we'll see hints of that on February
3rd. It will definitely worth a trip from Potlatch to find out.<br></font></div>
