AJ expressed his opinion of Emily on the Elian thread several times-- here's one reference. In the process he also took something I had written on DAR that had nothing to do with anything - it was a humor post--and somehow twisted it in the strangest way-- he became obsessed with the whole thing- and in posts to other people he would throw a quote of mone from the ED exchange out apropos of nothing- like a Tourettian interjection.

I just spent half an hour rereading some of the Elian thread.
It is really funny and also has some great writing by X and Karen.

If you are terribly bored, the exchange about the ED quote began here:
