I gotta confess--as I read back through this thread my conscience begins to bother me.

I have had some fun and laughs at the expense of becoming persecutory and abusive. I know that Roger has been persecutory, irrational and unreasonable toward the clones many times--but that doesn't make it ok to do the same. I have been just plain mean. It is a little disconcerting to realize that I have been having fun at some one else's expense.

Roger, FWIW, I think you owe the clones and some others apologies for victimizing them. But that call is for you to make. AND, two wrongs don't make a right. I owe you an apology. I'm sorry to have contributed to the ridicule.

In truth, Roger doesn't much bother me because 1. He has never directed his attention toward me, and 2. I don't read his posts-- historically I just skip over threads I see he has posted to a number of times. I do this in part because he obviously has some problems with reality testing, and in part because of the rancor that so often gets generated. He may start it, but it takes the rest of us to jump in. And jump in I did.

And in this instance it wasn't even Roger who decided to start the pot boiling--it was harpgirl. Why she wanted to get something going is beyond me--she is too smart to have begun this unwittingly--but the rest of us, Roger included, picked up our own spoons and started stirring.

I think it fitting that I close with the following: We have seen the enemy, and we are sh*t. (*BG*)
