instance my replies to Mr. Schou or Mr. Fox. The only difference in the
exchanges that I can see is that they don't immediately become emotionally
invested in the argument and start flailing. Keeping a cool head in the heat

Re: [Vision2020] (no subject)<BR><BR>> I'm fine with this, Deb and
thankful for the post! I've had a number<BR>> of friends of mine who
have made similar comments about Gary as a<BR>> businessman. A rather
large number, in fact, with stories very similar<BR>> to this in all
respects.<BR>> <BR>> To be honest, I still kind of like him. He is
blunt, like I am, and I<BR>> appreciate that. But he has never had a
civil thing to say to me. Not<BR>> once. He is completely hostile and
hateful. I've tried to be nice on a<BR>> few occasions but it is
difficult to keep it up. And if you look<BR>> carefully, each time I've
called him a "jackass" it was in response to<BR>> something that was
completely out of line, something different from<BR>> the usual insults
which are contained in every single response he ever<BR>> makes to me.
For Christ sakes, yesterday he accused me of being happy<BR>> about the
Tucson shooting. That is just way over the line.<BR>> <BR>> I've
said this before and I'll repeat it. A long time ago Gary and I<BR>>
shared some offline correspondence for over a week or two. I made
a<BR>> huge mistake of revealing several things about my personal life
and<BR>> past history to explain my anger about some of his posts: that
I had a<BR>> sister who is now dead who was a lesbian; that I spent
most of my life<BR>> poor and had a constant, irrational fear of
loosing my job and<BR>> returning to that state of poverty; that for
this reason I disliked<BR>> people talking about my job in political
discussion; etc.<BR>> <BR>> It isn't just that he exploited these
and other weaknesses of mine but<BR>> in fact shared this private
information with several local<BR>> conservatives who have been
harassing me with those insults ever<BR>> since. If you don't believe
me, just look carefully at the exchanges<BR>> from a few years ago, and
look at previous posts about me on RightMind<BR>> as well as the Daily
News website. It's a matter of record for anyone<BR>> who would care to
look it up.<BR>> <BR>> It was during this exchange, when Crabtree
threatened to come over to<BR>> WSU and pass out flyers about how
irrational I was that I wrote back<BR>> threatening to punch him in the
nose if he didn't shut up. He then<BR>> shared that message with Dale
Courtney who posted it out of context on<BR>> RightMind. And even
though I made a public apology on the V, the<BR>> original letter (out
of context) comes up there and here and on the<BR>> Daily News website
on a regular basis. It was repeated on RightMind<BR>> recently, when I
was complaining about the violent rhetoric of NSA.<BR>> <BR>> So
even though I sort of like him, sort of respect him I have a hard<BR>>
time maintaining a civil relationship with Mr. Crabtree. But
that's<BR>> me. I can see why others like him and I have no problem
with that.<BR>> <BR>> I do kind of wish that you had a problem with
truth tables, or the<BR>> history of philosophy today and had run into
me!<BR>> <BR>> On Fri, Jan 14, 2011 at 5:08 PM, deb <<A

car, quickly and efficiently got it open, I retrieved my keys from the

to the Lockshop so I could pay<BR>>> him the (reasonable) $40 with

do, and could still do them!<BR>>><BR>>> When Gary saw the
card, my name registered with him. He made a comment about<BR>>> me
posting negatively about him on the V---I said something about
not<BR>>> remembering saying anything about him personally (though,
Goddess knows I<BR>>> probably have!). He made me a spare key and
gave me a magnet for it (no<BR>>> extra charge) and took me back to
my car.<BR>>><BR>>> We shook hands, said we were glad to meet
one another in person, and both<BR>>> got on with our day.
OK.<BR>>><BR>>> Just a reminder to me, and I hope to everyone
out there. We can disagree, we<BR>>> can be nasty to one another, we
can hold radically different opinions. At<BR>>> the end of the day,
Gary got me into my car, and I owe him some organic<BR>>> veggies
(at a reasonable price!). We are still a community, win lose
or<BR>>> draw. Maybe we can stop hacking at each other on a personal
level once in a<BR>>> while? Criticism, contention, refutation,
debate----all fine. Let's just try<BR>>> to keep the personal
insults to a minimum. Just because we disagree doesn't<BR>>> mean
either one of us is evil.....<BR>>><BR>>><BR>>>
