No, that's not what I said. I did not say or mean to imply that anyone
should not express their opinion on this list. What I meant was, and
I'll be blunt here to avoid any further confusion, is that MY opinion
is that many of the the anti-AA opinions are well stated arguments that
should be discussed, are appropriate for this list, and are whiny,
self-entitled, and wholly hypocritical.
So, let's continue to discuss.
