Sorry, Kathy. I haven't seen the original allegedly slanderous characterizations and just cannot take them seriously given the source. If I had seen them, I certainly wouldn't repeat them. I avoid people of bad will when I can do so and try not to give them any attention, even when they are screaming for it. Rob cannot do anything about comments made elsewhere. We all can do something by not repeating them as the first comment in this thread may have done and by not giving them any further attention here. Sorry I made fun jest of them. The recent disruptions on this previously bucolic site all stem from one thing: an upswing in personal attacks. Those who launch such attacks, wherever they do it, need to be aware that there are laws that provide remedies should those attacks go too far, as determined by a jury.
