assistant: I think I understand the phrase better than you do Jim on a
     personal note ! Your just mad because I hammered something in
     this echo not tuched on before, that Mark Twain not only used
     the -N- Word nigger but was down on Indians just as much
     I didn't add anything to the post because I felt it was unnessary
     it spoke for itself !  Now if you don't like the fact that I
     posted the artical kick me out of the echo (proving you don't
     believe in freespeech ) or leave it go as is !
     You being one-sided and you know Leadford made a personal attack
     dragging in remarkes from another local echo that was evident
     in the way he opened his message. Rules are you never argue with
     the mod, but ledford has effected you judgment this time as he
     intended to do . Now prove me right or let it lay down please the
     choice is your because you have the power in this echo to stop
     anyone from posting anything your personally dissagree with I will
     not be bullied by you are ledford .
