"as an uninvolved observer, it read very much as if you were asserting that, Bill, so I'm not surprised Peg if read it that way too."

*sigh*...I re-read it several times, and guess I can see the places where you might get that impression if you are inclined to , but I still feel a fair reading of what I said makes it clear I was responding to a claim, not attacking Peg or her integrity. And if my first remarks were not entirely clear, I tried several times to restate what I meant so as not to leave the wrong impression... My focus for 45+ years of discussion like this has always been on issues, and when I encounter a claim like the one I questioned, made in a public forum, I am tempted to enter the discussion and do justice to alternative views. If I did not do a good job of showing that I meant nothing personal, I truly regret that! All my posts for 7 years are available to read, and I have always tried to express a strong opinion without a 'charge' or animosity, (except for a few brief debates with trolls and purveyors of hate).


Amos....."it is easy for thought to convince itself it is solid and thus experience life as a solid"

nice expression..I wish I'd said something more along those lines, *wry smile*...I might not be in such hot water now..
