Ok, Alison, I will say no more about this. You are right that reason is not working in this instance. Well, and I'm sorry that it hasn't.
Best,
Rebecca

Dear Rebecca and Trevor, your exasperations are understandable; but I
doubt, Rebecca, whether reason has anything to do with this, and
reasoning isn't working. I thank you for your concern, but I'm not
sure it's doing bar anything but making you a target for abuse
yourself, and feeding David's sense of ill-usage. And Trevor, well,
harumph. That was uncalled for, and perhaps you ought to listen to
your own better judgement.
David, I would thank you to stop abusing fellow list members and the
list itself, even if you just continue to brush aside all my requests
concerning me. There are no "double standards": what you call
"abuse" is the description of behaviour you refuse to recognise as
objectionable. Your posting of poems does not license bad
behaviour. And it's somewhat disingenuous to complain about people
reacting to a fight you picked yourself.
