I didn't mean you, I only meant I NEVER like to jump in on a gang attack- that was why I wouldn't have criticized Cobalt EVEN if I had realized how "serious" (that's a JOKE) the attack was. I did that a couple of times several years ago and I do NOT like the unfairness of it. I feel much more comfortable being a gang victim than a gang attacker- morally I cannot support bad group behavior. It just feels wrong to me- not that I haven't done it- but it is NOT my style. I don't call for reinforcements when I perceive myself to be attacked. I do tend to go to the aid of people I see as being on the short end of a group attack- but that's because I like underdogs. As you know I hate institutional bad behavior, and gang attacks feel like that to me. Even if I would LIKE to criticize people sometimes- if EVERYONE is doing it I feel it is unfair to jump in. It simply doesn't appeal to me. I can't remember you going at Rachel at all. You reminded me a long time ago that you were not aligned- I believed you, and I still do. I would feel like a weenie if I thought I needed my friends to defend me- it's too elementary school. I think what I think. I say what I say. I don't tale it seriously anymore- since it just isn't worthwhile. I assume from what you've said you feel the same way. I only posted to you because your Cobalt comment seemed completely unnecessary in the context of your cooking post, and in light of what has gone on here in the past few weeks. But it was no biggy.
