Jim;

You know, I've never met Ron in person and won't challenge your assessment.

Too many folks took things to a personal level immediately. THere were a few who became obsessed with labelling me as "anti-eveything" right from the start because I disagreed with them on some hot-button issues and of course the event that you allude to. They never took the time to listen to anything once they deemed me a "threat"...............and still apparently do.

Most of them I would still have no problem sharing the sky with and would probably enjoy sharing a beer because they're wrong about most of their perceptions.

too bad really.
