May you learn to speak English and comprehend.

kind to other humans ,,,,

I appologise to you Sally , if my answering Victoria and Elizabeth
Annoys you ,,,
They like to Quibble with me from time to time ,.never mind the
subject ...

I am puzzled. I know this is an OT thread (and one I usually jump over
because of its content) but having just read the Quilting Newsgroup
and come out of it with a smile at all the good feelings that abound
there, I wonder why the Needlework group seems to have a continuous
shadow of sniping going on, which somehow leaves an unpleasant taste,
and detracts from all the pleasant postings.

Was this the reason why I opted out from the Group the first time
round. I wonder.

Yet you accused me (in email, which I have asked you many times not to

assume it. It's in her official biography. The time you say she spent
in jail isn't.

Any you might note, Mirjam, that I am looking and looking to read that
same fact somewhere, but since I can't find it, I can only conclude that
you made it up.

I have asked you not to. I want anything I say to you out here where
others can see it, because you constantly twist my words and claim that
I have said things that I have not. I will not speak with you without
witnesses or at least (because I suspect nobody reads these exchanges)
an archive.

I have found Not found any Written materail saying she was Jewish ,
nore that her name was Rosenbaum ......and as i wrote , even if it was
... this does not say she was Jewish ...
Assuming Somebody is Jewish , because the name `sounds`
Jewish to you,is considered Anti-Semitic .

I already told you. I didn't assume it. You falsely accuse me of
anti-semitism to cover your own laziness in checking the facts.

Try doing a little research instead of making false claims once in a while.

You'll see there are just a few die-hards left in this argument. Those
of us who haven't a clue what the fight is about are ignoring the
thread. It will pass. As long as it is marked OT, just let it ride
(although it would be nice if the whole Ayn Rand thread would get
renamed--hint, hint!)

Personally, because that particular thread was getting so long and
involved when it was still on topic for the header, I went and put a
killfile on it because I had no interest in the subject. Every couple
days I'll hit Google just to peek and see if it's possibly gone
offcourse to something that I am interested in, so I knew that the
conversation had steered to Ayn Rand, but again not something that
interested me so it's still in the killfile.

Fascinating. Thank you! I've heard her name bandied about on Wis Pub
Radio but never really understood who they were talking about. Haven't
really dug into her philosophy of objectivism grin but have a better
idea of who she is, at least. Never thought to look her up on the web.
Call it a lazy afternoon. :-)

I was going to post a "da*n you, Elizabeth" post; I had planned to stitch a
lot this afternoon, then got thinking. I had heard the name Ayn Rand, but
hadn't a clue who she was, so googled, and have learned a lot about her;
however the stitching never did get done!!

Incidentally, changed the header. I was getting tired of seeing Social
Security on there, especially since I did a rough draft of our tax return,
and 85% of our Social security is being taxed again. Oh for the days when it
maxed out at 50%!!

I love the World Wide Web. Not all sites are created equal, of course,
but these seemed pretty good. And if the same information is repeated
over and over without anyone disputing it, it's usually a good bet that
it's accurate.

I'm sorry about the stitching, but glad to have provided a bit of
entertainment. I've been working on syllabi. Snow really messed things
up and it turns out I ordered a newer edition of one of my texts and
then forgot that I did it. Boy am I red in the face over that! So I
have to rewrite to reflect the change in schedule because of snow days
AND the different edition. But it's nice to take a quick break and do
something else every hour or so. I'd rather stop to stitch, but then I
never want to go back to working... *grin*

Incidentally, changed the header.

Thank you. I often forget to do that.
