It seems pretty obvious to me from the last few posts that between us we all have our reasons to distrust and/or dislike pentellit (for the record, I disapprove of her overt militarism--which puts anything folks have ever accused me of to shame--and the fact that her anti-Barker crusade has a take-no-prisoners air to it, plus the fact that it IS a crusade and it seems to have swallowed her whole, which is also why I doubt everything she says, but that's just me).
Then there are those like price_authority, who we know and whose opinions we respect (at least I do), saying that some of what pentellit says is true. Fair enough--you're the independent fact-checker that can help us sort fact from fiction in what pentellit says.
pentellit, don't mock people who disagree with (or who even just don't agree with) what you say. Don't bludgeon us with anti-Barker-isms (isn't that a clever term?) at every turn. Quit making everything you touch into a platform to attack Bob. And don't make it so painfully obvious (and that's exactly what it is, painful) that you think Bob is the absolute worst human being to ever grace the face of the Earth. We get it, already, we don't need to be reminded at every turn. He's retired now, and unless he's named in a new lawsuit, there's no reason to keep trying to link him to everything that's happening now.
So please--knock it off, won't you? Contribute to discussions in a constructive way. Talk about something other than how much you hate Bob and anyone who respects him for what he accomplished. That way when you want to talk about something Bob-related, the knee-jerk reaction is something other than "ugh, there she goes again."
Deal??
