Ok, let me be a little more clear.
Some people posting in these forums and in this thread have a vested interest in setting us all at each other's throats.
Of
course I don't
know that in that I can't prove it, imperically, to the standard of proof acceptable to a competent court. It's just my opinion. Take it, leave it or use it somehow. Your call.
Just don't fall for it. A lot of people around here don't like me very much. I've been called everything from a slut to a malfecant agent of the devil ot (get this!) a Mason! I don't give a shit! Really. Honestly. Call me uneducated, I'll consider the relavence to the topic. After all, I never finished the 10th grade. It might be relavent. Call me something I'm not, I don't care enough to answer. I really don't.
What I'm trying to say is DON'T FALL FOR IT! Just don't. None of you. You who have a vaguely bad notion of who and what Carey is, consider that you may have been influenced by some very ugly and obviously unfounded statements about her. Carey, please consider that everybody else here is just as vulnerable to that kind of impressions as you are.
I have an unfair advantage. I can make an educated guess about who's saying what. It's not that I'm posessed of superior intillect. Just that I have information that I can't give out w/o violating the trust of people who depend on that promise of reasonable privacy. (except, of course, in the case of Lee Colburn. In that case, I freely admit that I took advantage of an intemperate moment when he was strung out on rage and manipulated him into giving me permission to divulge his anonymous posts. And it was fun, I enjoyed it thoroughly!)
But I do look back and see where the initial hostile, inciteful posts come from and, more often than not, they come from people who, in other conversations, try (hard) to make WWASP programs seem kind, gentle and worthy.
Again, just don't fall for it, ok? You don't have half the enemies you think you do and you're not the enemy of half the people who think you are. Just ignore the obvious incitement and only address those people and those points that are worthy of your attention.
I do not consider it an insult, but rather a compliment, to be called an agnostic. I do not pretend to know where many ignorant men are sure.
