"I don't quite understand the defensiveness on display here - I've not accused anyone of anything improper, especially the folks who've seen fit to criticize me for even asking."
You are not seeing defensiveness on display
What you see are some trying to figure out what you are up to
These are the types of posts that I have seen of others who have in the past accuse Jim of some of the most unspeakable things
I won't even get into the things I've been called over at LP
How about the obvious? I have a question, and I'm trying to get an answer. Accepting that may be harder than just dismissing me as an anti-freeper or whatever, but it also happens to be the truth.

Well, I haven't accused anyone of anything, let alone accused anyone of "unspeakable things". I just asked a question.

Well, I'm sorry if you've been insulted or otherwise mistreated. I would only point out that it wasn't me doing the insulting or mistreating, and I don't think I've done anything to earn the bile and scorn I've gathered here on this thread. Since you obviously know how it feels to be the target of hurtful, hateful things said about you, you might be a bit more reticent about saying such things about others.
