Who is going to be accused or put down by that? Who? Maybe someone who dislikes me? But really Bob, why was that uncivil?

Yes, as a matter of fact, i do think you don't like me - in addition to most people on babble.> If you or others have questions about this or about posting policies in general, or are interested in alternative ways of expressing yourself, please first see the FAQ:
