I think these people may have been looking for confrontation. not "fire." Fortunately, my co-writer and my husband helped tone down what I was writing instead. Almost everyone else has really praised the professionalism and writing of these three pieces.

Cal bird rescuer is correct and I think that the more "normal" and less argumentative we can come across, the better to the general public. To each other we can communicate more strongly. Is there a reason you copied Phillip Gerrie? How often do you write him?
