[The South Park Republican]

I can't argue with you. You couldn't be more right.

But if it makes any difference, even though Howlin and I agree or a number of things and I have defended her in the past, I now see why she gets into so many flame wars.

Yes...I am trying to defend myself with those statements.

you are still not getting it. repeat after us: "who cares?"

[Judith Anne]

You are so irrelevant. Your self-defense is so irrelevant. Let's concentrate on the news, shall we? Post something that has nothing to do with your private pique, but that has to do with this disaster, or please refrain. Just a request. Please.

I think you suffer from last-word-itis! Let if go, already!!!!!

[Inspectorette]

Right now, we're all very emotional and our nerves are raw.

I'm sure you know that Howlin is one of the great ladies of Free Republic - she is our heart and soul. I consider her a friend, even though we're 3,000 miles apart, and we've never met. Please don't hurt her. (I know she can stand up for herself, but please back off.)
