I didn't actually make a threat, or have the intent to, I don't think

I don't care whether you believe me or not - and no, she doesn't know
him AFAIK

It's supposed to be joke - like "the other yellow meat". Being a
foodie and all, I'm sorry that went over your head. Now whose being
unreasonably judgemental?

No they don't - butwhatever latent amount of it we wish hadn't been
put there comes out when we least expect it or want it.

It is supposed to be survivalism as in taking care of yourself and
your family. As in sort of an extension of what is discussed here -
food and lots of common sense stuff. At least that's what it used to
be. I THOUGHT a lot of things I shouldn't have, too - this is not an
isolated incident of this nature (well, not this exact nature),
although certainly by far the worst. All of them added together ina
short period of time get a little old. By the way, I think the
supremacist type have only become common as of late. In general
they're tolerated but you;'ll very little positive response to the
aluminum foil hat crowd. But it is usenet, and they have a right to
say what they want too. There's a lot of nice people there, but if
you hang out too long you start talking a little crazy. That's the
stuff I have been talking about not liking so much. I already said I
apologized there too, and probably have a lot more to be sorry about,
but sometimes you got to just move on.
