And JS - please direct your comment to Tim who brought up a closeted nasty gay man. please. I will defend when put upon. that is a given. Direct your comment where it should be, unless you think the queer should be put upon when the Tim tries to say the nasty closeted queer was right. nope. do not go after Koan. you were wrong. you want peace? go for the peaceful... as in Koan. and me. Atwater admitted his sins, Tim will not admit he did.
