Kraig,

Why are you so offended by what I said?

Kraig, I want to ask the same thing. Jeff is not condoning or excusing
nastiness on anybody's part. Rather, he's trying to extract out of
McLaren's "challenged" style the substantive content which may also be
present. Whether or not there was an impersonation going on (about this
I am in total confusion at this moment), it is not a sin to say that
McLaren may make some valid points amidst his ranting.

Ditto for Gary Morrison.

Passions flare in the moment; I am no less guilty than anyone on the
planet in this regard. In the light of a new day, will you reconsider
your sentiments, please?
