KAREN: E's post was directed to you. Are you going to let CH's slander pass without comment?

Well, Laz, I was planning to ignore that comment just as I have the rest of the crap flying around here today beneath the radar level. I DO try to model adult behavior most of the time, you know. But since you called the post to my attention via PM, I guess you want an response so I'll try to accommodate you.

So, you expect me to comment on some slander? And I would do that because...?

Let's see. Does this slander have anything to do with any of my current hobby horses?

1. Poor critical thinking, particularly black and white thinking? No.
2. Gang tactics on the thread? No.
3. Incivility significantly beyond thread norms? Unfortunately, no.
4. Government organization? No.

Well, guess it's not my one of my pet issues.

What other criteria might I apply?
1. Has either of the principles, particularly the aggrieved party, requested my participation? No.
2. Did the point strike my fancy for some arcane reason? No.
3. Do I have something special to bring to this matter that would be useful to the parties? No.

Seems to me, Laz, that this one's a pass, unless you have some other reason why I should be a player in this. Do you?
