You are correct. I wasn't referring to you. I have been a member of this list since 1995 and have watched in dismay as many have left because their political positions have been severely criticized. Indeed, there has been a rather long stretch of precious little input. Since we need everyone in this fight, I think we should refrain from disparaging any candidate or party. Differing opinions are good. Being disrespectful toward a personal position is bad. We can agree to disagree without being insulting. --------- God bless Mary Ann (cG Jamie 68/28 with PD, died 11/20/07) www.bentwillowfarm.org > Mary, > > I am assuming that you are making a generalized statement about > "disparaging a candidate or a party..." as well as your comment about > "insulting behavior" and that you are not directing that at me.
