NP - Chemical Weapons Used in Syria... (or WERE they?)

[Mark Kohut]

Not long ago you were rightly protesting "insults".

Now a vague "you"--Kohut/Morris/Jerky/All of us?-- being addressed with
such vile slanderous or libelous insults of what we are 'eager' for, that
you are worth
nothing in conversation. And I think you should examine yourself in the
ways you think best.

But that's just me.
