to Gladys

Aw c'mon! The name changing is part of the persona, has been for umpteen years. I've come and gone on this list under various nom de plumes for not quite as many years, but enough to know he probably contributes more genuine artistic input than the rest of you put together. I know nothing of the petition Alison is defending so heartily, but considering the two sources, Alison and Gladys... well, 'nuf said.

Alison? The recipient of harassment? Well, bless my soul! Poor thing (as in to be pitied), coff, coff... excuse me, I'm having a giggle fit

It has been said that a certain level of civility has been lost to our modern society. I admit my contribution has not been perfect, yet you admit to knowing nothing and then proceed to shovel word upon word in the hope that reason and logic will eventually emerge.

What is your fear? Is it the fear of being tricked? Fear that if you would extend your voice of caring it would be followed by a storm of laughter and ridicule voiced by the words 'I tricked you! I tricked you!'? Unfortunately such childish fears become father to the man and poor man it is who's love is forever bound by childish pride .
