Snce you're going to assume, I'll just tell you that I generally don't
get many negative comments about my work, not that I should even attempt
to defend it (notice how he threw that one in there! "who often give him
a pretty bad time"  Sometimes it just seems too easy doesn't it
Scottie?) .  Other than that, I don't know what you could possibly be
talking about, unless you simply felt left out from all the nonsense a
few days ago.
