Let me see if I get this straight. You can charge me and "my cronies" with hypocrisy. Who are my cronies? Care to name names? But that is not an attack. Care to elaborate on the charge? And make it something other than "oh he's a local player but he didn't attend." If that is the grounds for your accusation I've already made my defense.

Hypocrisy is a pretty serious charge. It is saying one thing and doing another. Kind of the opposite of integrity, which is doing what you say. So in essence accusing someone of hypocrisy is questioning their integrity.

But no problem, that's not an attack. I'm just being thin-skinned. If I didn't share Koca's utter lack of concern for your opinion of me, I might take offense. But I won't.

Maybe it's something in the drinking water up here, because I'm having as hard a time finding Joe's vile accusations against you as I am finding my own attacks against you. Joe gives what I consider a reasoned, articulate, polite argument against something you wrote that he disagreed with, and your response is that his "type disgusts you". What is his "type"? Someone that disagrees with you?

I'll carry Joe's water when I think he is right and I'll carry your water when I think you are right.

Unless you have a specific charge of hypocrisy against me that you wish me to defend against, I won't respond to any of your posts, no matter how personal you get in your attacks.
