smartcookie~ it’s very possible.
but what annoys me the most(& continues to) were the reactions to his next statement that followed:
“And I still believe that one should be cautious but not paranoid.”
I read that as soon as it had been posted, & do you know what? I agreed with that statement at that point 100%!!!! I also felt being cautious, but not paranoid, was correct in being called for– as opposed to the over-zealous, over-the-top, name calling, accusations, measures & statements made by a certain poster, w/ his forthcoming back-up vigilante crew.
subsequently, that one comment was turned into statements about it being a ploy of manipulation to lure folks into a sense of false security here in the CR & finally, twisting it into it being a means of manipulation to procure personal info from others. say what?!
furthermore~ if I had been treated as hatefully, insultingly, shabbily, & poorly (understatements) as AYC was… I wouldn’t have responded further to all the horrific comments & accusations made by posters here, & possibly would have responded in similar fashion (“invective & abusive”) to an email sent to me as well.
JMO.
sorry I’m not being very articulate.
