Would Jimmy be compromising his own "sense of self worth" by saying sorry? It makes me wonder. Even if not sorry, at least have the guts to name names.
and this is what I had composed and was going to just let go.....something others on this list seem to find impossible to do.......
Appologies for the delay in responding to this diatribe but I said I was busy with my grandkids........I simply cannot understand why some on this list have such a hard time with plain English.

I don't hold with everything Jim said but I for one really, really want you to name names / give specific examples.
where I come from it is ungentlemanly to *name names* unless you are a) a Kindergarten snitch or b) with the Gestapo......(or the NSA)

You have gone beyond the (IMO) acceptable. That is you've jumped from saying *what* these supposed reviewers have said to claiming to know *why* they said it
no, what I said was how I felt......you are familiar with feelings, aren't you???......you are capable of more than just self righteous indignation aren't you?????......any other interpretation is strictly yours......

Sorry Jimmy, you might think this is closed but I demand an apology on behalf of all the reviewers you didn't mean to include in your insult. As you have left it it could well apply to them all.
demand????........I don't do demand performances......I stand by what I wrote and accept responsibility for it......but I owe no one an apology as no one was specifically cited nor will they be.......if this is so inflammatory to you or any other reviewer I can only suggest you look into yourselves to see why........there is an old Chinese proverb which says *when I meet someone I admire, I look inside that person to see what it is about them I wish to emulate and when I meet someone whom I dislike, I look inside myself to see where I am like that person*

Anyway, I think I've at least realised my self-worth right now: My times too valuable to waste ;o)
