To pick through this story from the The Atlantic, we go to your comment where we click on the highlighted link to a story which takes us to the Politico story and in it we find a reference to an AP sourced report included. Selective pickers will not want to do all that. It is entirely too much trouble for the tunnel visioned to escort their brain through the unfolding of a story about who said what, and when. I will do it. I won’t however make hand notes as to where I research sources. Others need to do their own dang homework.
Thank you for the source work you have done, and point to in your lead comment to this thread. It explains to those who did not know all this, where to go. This will be extremely helpful to Lonevoice and Politcalmom who berate me for not remembering my sources for my comments. YOU have provided those sources today. Thank you.

From my last post to you on a different thread, recopying it here because I really have nothing further to add.
If Id read your posting history prior to asking the question, I can assure you I wouldnt have asked you. Thats my mistake, and I apologize that youre now so riled up because of it. Youre clearly more emotionally invested, and your posts tend to a much more vitriolic style, than I normally engage.
Breathe.

I've been very polite with you, Rita. But now I don't know how else to put this to you, other than very plainly and simply:
*Please stop pinging me*
No hard feelings, Rita. I'm just not interested in being a participant in this style of "discussion". I hope that's clear enough.
