I think other stresses in my life are seeping into my posts unconsciously, because I definitely don’t care that much about Jennifer Massey. Hope you all will forgive me and accept my promise that I will watch my tone from now on. It’ll be easier after Xmas and once 2004, a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year for me, is over.

Take care and happy holidays. 🙂

For the record, \*\*CK Dexter Haven \*\* commented on his overly harsh response to me in [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=292854); see it here for your own edification. Clearly he didn’t realize that the antagonism between **JThunder** and me was ongoing and not started by me in this thread. In any case, the only remaining things I need to say are, further discussion of this should remain in the Pit, or forgotten altogther (the preferable response).

Happy Trump-free holidays to all.
