[QUOTE="Mikey, post: 131197, member: 3579"] Hey nutty :) I agree with Marg: you did nothing wrong. People like this woman are a bane to necessary civil discourse. They are more interested in establishing themselves, their doctrines, and their opinions as "right" than they are in allowing groups of people to reach a consensus that is acceptable to all. I'd also bet good money that there was another agenda at work in her diatribe. In my experience, when things like this happen there's usually something else in play as well, in the shadows where it's hard to see.... Putting her in her place was not bad; it was necessary, and I hope you continue to do it. And be proud of it. I'm sure the others there were only too happy to see you swat this gadfly so you could all get back to [I]serious[/I] work. And, for a small soapbox moment... [B][soapbox][/B] I also thank you for a different reason: standing up to a political/ideological bully. I hope that more people like you, in other areas and walks of life will continue to stand up to the "one" so that the "many" can benefit. We need to see more, not less, of this in our society. Please keep it up![B][/soapbox][/B] Mikey [/QUOTE]
