bin_Laden_in_Austin's vile & repulsive comments about RR & I (which, among other things, attributed to me
cruel & insensitive comments that innocent Arab American's should be shot) weren't repulsive enough to warrant an equally insensitive response to bia????????

I remember when she wrote it. I didn't want to reply to for a few reasons.

1. I figured it was Christmas Eve (didn't check but I think it was pretty close anyhow)
and didn't feel like getting on either side of an argument that day. I was caught up in
some sort of be nice to my fellow man and hug the ones you ordinarily wouldn't -type mood.

2. I remember biting my tongue the day I read the original RR post. It was posted about
a week before Bonster mentioned it. I didn't want to come off as judgemental by comparing
the warm love and affection towards scavenger Raccoons to the desire to squeeze or financially
hurt coal miners who have perhaps one of the toughest jobs (or the least desireable job) that are
available to the poor bastards trying to put food on their table in that part of the country.
(Mind you this is what was running through my head but figured it wasn't worth the effort.
I also didn't know all the details of the union busting attempt.)
I really didn't want to get into it and look like a trouble maker.
Then when I saw Bonnie write about it on NNBM, I knew already what she was referring
to without even having to click the link. Then I clicked and saw I was right. It was RR's post.
Then I just sat back and waited to see what sort of reply would come of it. In some sort
of sick twisted way, I was waiting to see how different people might react. Or maybe I'd get
some answers or whatever without asking.
I believed it started out with a few union jokes perhaps but then things got ugly quickly and
I figured I would stop watching because it was killing my holiday mood.
There were other important things to think about.
Besides I knew I'd find my own stupid argument on my own (like my desire to waste time and
energy arguing over stupid stuff like 100 baggers). -g -ng

I'm not certain why no one else barked back at Bonnie.

I just figured that there were others who may have agreed with her sort of but didn't want to get
into an argument either.

JMSO and not meant as a boxing or wrestling match. No sarcasm.
