Robin, no, but that's not what's going on. All this loaded language, 'malicious
crap' and 'whimpering in the void' are just the intellectual variants of verbal
abuse. I don't know what it is with the 'intelligent', in that they think as long as
they're not saying 'you're stupid, worthless, and no one cares about you' but
you're 'full of distorted thinking, and whimpering in the void' it's ok. I don't
know, I have had enough of this, and I mean everywhere, and it's ridiculous the
way that many talk about the cruel expressions of this or that in the world when
they engage in the very same thing within their own limited power spheres,
hypocrites, we are hypocrites and liars. I understand too that you might be
miffed by some appeal to some vague 'authority' to shut you up without
recourse or remedy, and so I am loathe to try and shut you up but can't this
stop. Isn't there some point in human affairs in which mercy is allowable? upon
oneself, the other, and all those standing about, and I say without any illusions
or excuses for my own cruelties and stupidities on this list and in other ether
realms but in awareness and regret of them. Also, I think that given everything
there are many who any day who might step off the edge upon which they linger
everyday, or try to keep someone else from stepping off, and it does no good to
anyone to have these petty wars between and within ourselves. It's like that
quote "live or die, but don't poison everything," and, well, I'm sorry if this seems
like some demented utterance on my part, but please,
Best,
Rebecca

I really don't *get this -- is it so objectionable to ask Lawrence Upton to
indicate which particular message on a long thread he's replying or
"responding" to?
