Yes! Thank you Bernie. PatrickforO Sep 2015 #1

We were not unsavory, we were libled and slandered and mischaracterized Bluenorthwest Sep 2015 #2

I was about to post an objection to the characterization in the OP csziggy Sep 2015 #5

And again... MannyGoldstein Sep 2015 #35

Manny edited the OP. Manny never acknowledged my post about the original text either. Bluenorthwest Sep 2015 #63

I believe you made it worse, actually. MineralMan Sep 2015 #8

For the link- or logic-impaired: MannyGoldstein Sep 2015 #33

So I took issue with a historic allusion and the words 'a few'. Very sorry, how unsavory of me. Bluenorthwest Sep 2015 #62
