Its one thing to come up with principled opposition and to advocate that strongly, it is another to make direct allegations and present that as truth, when you have no actual knowledge of it and haven't bothered checking.
I'm confused.
Is this like your perpetually alleging LaBelleDameSansMerci and I were one and the same?
Or is it more like passing around electronic hearsay such as this:
Without naming names or being too specific, here is the story - PLEASE keep it under wraps for now. It is fresh, but doesn't need to go to the alternate site yet, as several people are now in the process of wrecking their real lives over this right now.
[... need I go on? ...] And it is really ugly.....
What sort of instructions for disseminating this damaging hearsay electronically would you suppose the author of the e-mail is giving here, Counselor?
Do you really expect any of us to believe you care at all about the effect of libel and slander on "the real lives" of others?
Any chance you can vacate the glass house you habit before you go throwing stones?
These are all hypothetical questions, of course ... I have no intention of returning to this Timesink wherein you're wasting the "real lives" of folks. I've read enough.
P.S. Should be "it's one thing". You'll be wanting to dot the i's and cross the t's from here on out, I suspect, lest you be hoisted on your own petard.
Hey, leave me out of this. :P
