Calling people nazis and fascists and misogynists

I have come to an end with Doug. I suggest you do the same. The Lord
knows if I have not tried hard to be a friend to him, the Lords knows
even that I have not altogether failed. And I've forgiven and forgiven,
and forgotten and forgotten, and tried to follow Dave Monroe's Christian
advice to turn the other cheek; and still from Doug springs fresh and
foul enmity, fresh and foul accusations. Why, I leave to Doug to
explain. Doug says I am haunted by devils. He has called me a fascist
and a Nazi. I think it is Doug's turn to search his own soul for the
presence of devils. Why does he sit at his machine all day brewing up
his fowl personas and ugly feelings?
But you know, as others do, others like Robert who have suffered under
Doug's assaults, that Doug will only make anything we say black with
his pestilence. It is often best to hold your peace, even when you have
evidence of foul play (like Barbara and Mike naming us in their posts),
forgive; for we understand his nature, and much of it we understand
because we are not judgmental people.
This name calling has driven many people from this list, but come on
Barb/Doug, give it a fucking break.
