Say what?  Racist?  Is that what you're trying to imply?  I hope not.  That
would be way below who I thought you were.

And what is it exactly I've said that you're shocked/saddened by?  I think
MalignD and I have been mostly on the same page in this debate, so where is the
staw man?  And what is shocking/saddening?

<< I'm just saddened by what you wrote David. I'm sorry we even tried to
discuss this here. I'm finished with this topic.>>

So you're going to throw out these charges at myself and MalignD and then say
you don't want to talk about it any more?  You ARE beginning to sound like
Prozak (not that I think you are).

<<As far as where the thread ended up, I think that it's fairly obvious that
Black Talk or Ebonics is a huge topic and our thread could have and certainly
still can unwind in thousands of ways. But I had no interest in rehashing the
grammar wars or the great grammar debate.>>

Why not? You led the initial charge in this debate and kept it going for quite
a while.  Now you pretend that you only wanted to discuss TSI?  Phooey.
