I argue that you are misrepresenting what happened. As for me "not being called on it" we're at 208 posts (not all responding to me, of course) and counting.
Well, argue all you like, LB, but the simple truth is the Rep. didn't hijack anything, and in fact had every right to make the remarks he made and was about to make when the chair cut him off. That you keep trying to misrepresent that fact shows us all a great deal about your style ... as a last worder, you may now have the last word. Try to be fully honest with it.
