Why is it presumptious? I wrote that *after* I had spoken to Peter David
Fitzgerald-Morris, who is one person removed from Kate herself. He said
the statement Robyn made was untrue. She has no inside information.
End of story.

I wasn't attacking his ideas. If you had read my posts, you would have seen
that I conceeded that he may well be right on many points. My problems
had to do with the tone of his post. Very scornful and cynical. He treats
Kate (and those who may like what he doesn't) like an idiot, instead of a
human being who did something he disagreed with.  

> You accuse him of being  "bitchy, cynical" and insensitive.

OK. I'm sorry that Richard is bitchy, cynical and insensitive. Ooops,
I'm sorry I said it in public.

Fine. Where were you when Richard called Chris "potentially dangerous"
just because Chris questioned the Little Light people's truthfulness.

You're absolutely right. Cynicism and insensitivity is catching. I'm
coming down with it myself. I'll go back to being Little Miss Sweetness
and Light, who puts a Sugar Coating on everything.
