Well, " maybe I do " is such an outrageous thing to say that I

figured it would be pretty obvious that I was being facetious.

I've never been very good about this diplomacy thing.

" People say I have no tact, but that's a load of crap " , as I like

to say.

I thought that if people were deleting my posts, they certainly

couldn't be offended by them.

Certainly Jeanine has been doing a great job of research and is

valuable to the group. Isn't there some way that people who don't

like what I have to say could set my posts to some kind of " auto

delete " so as not to be aggravated by them?

I'm not so sure about " western " treatment being responsible for the

demographics of Spanish Flu. At the time, they didn't even know

about viruses and attributed it to what they knew - bacteria.

Remember the famous picture of all the people in New York wearing

face masks - not realizing that these were completely useless

against this type of infection? Plus the Spanish Flu hit a lot of

children that had no contact with the medical system.

People have been free to make some very personal characterizations

about me - which I don't recall having done to anyone.

Would you please do me a favor and give me an example of my

offensive behavior so I can see where I went diplomatically wrong?
