hi Atticus,
thanks for responding! Sometimes I do get worked up over the flame-o-posts, when I probably should take a breath and stay out of it (becuase I know I get worked up!)I supposed I feel protective of Babble, even though it's not "mine" to protect, and I bristle when people arrive here out of the blue and seem to be bent on causing trouble. Lots of others, out of empathy (as you pointed out) go out of their way to try and help, try and bring them in the fold, with often disastrous results.
I suppose that's really just a part of life, after all...but today it got to me.
Anyway, thanks for writing. By the way, your posts are worth at least a nickel too (probably way more, if you ever decide to publish some of those stories!)
