Indeed.  Read on.

I think that little Peter would like to force us all to rehash
old arguments just because he wasn't here to see them the
first time.  I think that most people remember when Holtsinger
started posting doctored quotes, and the complete quotes that
others posted to prove the Reverend's dishonesty.  Petey Honey
will just have to live with the fact that he is still a newbie.

#I think Dr Giggles is back doing his "I'll just attack

#of himself with Adrienne and now he has an urge to make an

Since he's incapable of presenting a logical arguement, or
posting factual material, and he feels compelled to post
anyway, what other option does he have besides baseless
attacks?

I wonder if djr is an alum in this program.

Well, actually, Dean, it's worse than that.  I didn't make the
statement in question.  J.S. Greenfield did.  Dr. Giggles deleted
the reference line, and then he replied to the rest of the
article as if I had written it.  I'm not sure if he was afraid
that he had retained a shred of credibility after his wrongful
attack on Adrienne and wanted to complete the job, or if he 
is so stupid as to think that people wouldn't notice his
deletions.  It's pretty funny, considering that he complains
about my deletions in his text, but it's typical of him and
his buddies.  I got quite a laugh out of it.

Susan
