El, it would have been fine *she* not turned it into a "if you don't
have insurance you're irresponsible...if you say rude things you're
unenlightened...you're not in good shape spiritually"...judgment parade,
as she did.

Geez. She calls me a bad person, then runs and hides and you call this
"a dizzying defense"...
Right.
Whatever.

No, I, for one, (hound, me) don't want blood. Hers, nor anyone's. I
simply was stating that I have had quite enough of the sort of
fear-based thinking that she was espousing. If you'd like to turn it
into something quite more melodramatic, go right ahead.
Is it wrong for me to say I've had enough of that sort of thinking?

For your information, I was not "persecuting the fearful" I was
expressing my opinion.

Good...really!...but for me, fear is a biggy. That was what I was
telling Isadora. That I have worked for years to get *out* of a
fear-based mindset, and that I do not agree with her worries, fears,
concerns and judgments.

Whatever, El. Line up for the flogging...sounds like you would probably
enjoy it.
Blessings...
