Anyone has a right to criticize what a person writes, but I contend that in
the unrelenting and unremitting criticism of a person whom you knew was
hyper-sensitive to criticism, you carefully and intentionally worded things
in your inimical way so as to hurt his feelings to the maximum amount. Paul
is a person who is far too sensitive for his own good, but you knew that,
and I think, used it.

But I have quite obviously confused you, for somehow, no matter what I say,
you respond to something else, usually something that I neither said nor
implied. I don't bully easily Daniel, and you'll find that, after years and
years of disputing Christian Fundamentalists I can handle Theosophical
Fundamentalists too. By the way, I have never heard that calling a bully a
bully was insulting, it's just truthful.

Well I hope you enjoy yourself while you may, I think you will find me far
less amusing as time goes by.."he who laughs last...."
