Funny... this was never your stance before.  Seems to me that you went
around threatening to contact people's employers (and raise political

What, exactly, in my posting was a flame, insult or a lie?  You didn't
find anything along those lines to post, did you Chucky?  Know why?

Oh my... Chucky's getting into the 80's now... "chill out".  Why don't
you go soak your head in the toilet Chucky...  Seems like such a nice
