The rest are discussions. I've met many urglers too - I've
even answered to two emails today. Now, ask yourself why they don't
post on this forum but contact me via email?

No one would believe that. That comment is so overdone and old hat and
unbelievable that even cyber kiddies don't bother to use it any more.


Just because a comment may be misused and overdone, it doesn't follow that
it is always false.

True. Usenet is a funny place. I can still be surprised at times by the
number of nutters there are lurking on Usenet.

A few years back, when I was on the receiving end of the
rougher side of Janet's tongue, for having disagreed with her over
something (can't remember what), I received several unsolicited e-mails of
'support' from urglers, who chose to keep out of the discussion on the
open forum. I didn't mention it at the time, because, frankly, 'flames'
don't bother me, and I didn't want to embarrass them, but it's true
nonetheless.

Well I have also had online disagreements with Janet, and they have been
fairly robust ones. I have never considered Janet's comments to be in the
category of 'flames', merely robust and vigorous disagreements. But then I
don't run away from disagreements either. Janet has a good turn of phrase
that has a bite to it on occasions but I consider pitting wits against
someone of Janet's abilities is all part of life's experiences.

I do find it astounding however that anyone would feel the need to send off
e-mails of "support" to one side but then not be prepared to state their
views in the open. It says to me that such silent and hidden "supporters"
are inadaquate in a number of ways. But then perhaps that just reflects my
loathing for any form of sneakiness.

Hence it is possible IMO that Helene may well have 'supporters' who choose
to remain anonymous. It takes all sorts, you know, and the fact you
clearly can't stand her doesn't mean everybody else does, too.

It's true, I do loathe her. I can't stand stalkers or liars in real life
and I like them just as little on Usenet. It could be just possible that she
has the odd supporter. Clearly they could not be very fussy about the
company they keep and it is probably just the same strange ones we see here.
