yep
> wanting to make him the scapegoat?
i'm not meaning to comment on what people intend or what people consciously think they are doing. i'm just commenting on a process that does seem to happen over and over...
there is some hostility towards a poster...
that is expressed...
that person is blocked (to curb the hostility to that poster)
the hostility becomes directed at dr-bob.that makes no mention of what people think they are doing or what people think they are trying to do or whether people have legitimate points or not...
it is just descriptive about where the hostility is directed.
because these 'legitimate points' have a funny way of arising when people are involved in the above process and not arising at other times where people are more cool calm and collected.
> perhaps larry felt those very same things as he wrote what he wrote?
perhaps he did. i think that is fairly irrelevant with respect to what he did in fact say, however.
i think...that people might be thinking (consciously or unconsciously) that in order to show larry proper support... one must be mad at dr-bob...
whereas before...
it was about deneb.
thats all i'm saying...
