SLSL Intro "Chicago School"

[barbara100 at jps.net]

I missed this one today.  I didn't know Fergus was mad at me.  Shut up.
Even in my worst and meanest posts, I never told anybody to shut up.  Never
understood that around here.  Did Terrance go to MIT or something?  Not
quite following. Who the hell would care if some guy named "Terrance" hated
Chomsky anyway?  God, I hope you never told anyone you know that you post
here!   Seems if you were so worried about what people read here,  you'd be
more worried about what you write yourself.  Terrance and friends were all
the time ridiculing me and Doug for tooting the Chomsky horn.  He even got
Jbor in on it, see.  And Jbor doesn't even know him well enough to hate him.
Spiteful, Fergus? Okay, maybe a little.  Sorry.  But the personae thing is a
little irritating to me.  And so are the shut ups.
But I'm hardly ever dishonest.  I could show examples.
Anyhow, sorry for the trouble, Fergus.  We won't dwell on this anymore.
So we're all cool with Chomsky then?

Barbara
PS: Who's slothenvypride7 anyway? Are there 1-6 here too?
