When is this incessant b.s. going to end?  How many posts have been devoted
to this annoying ego dance?  Most of the long-timers on this list know that
the evolutionary record is often cryptic and challenging and open to much
debate.  Paleo diet is prime territory for interpretation of ambiguous
pieces of the fossil record and the overlay of present medical research.  I
am not one of the primary contributors but I am a devoted "listener."  I
appreciate healthy debate that includes references to the popular and peer
reviewed literature as well as personal anecdote and success (and failure)
stories in this collective interest we share.  I hope I am not alone in
feeling discomforted by presumptive pronouncements, bullying, and dismissive
stereotyping.  The day that everyone on the list "agrees,"  the list will
probably quickly die.  BUT, shouldn't one or two "personal" swipes in public
be enough.  Why not take the ego bs off the list and fight it out on
personal bandwidth.  It's enough to drive me to go watch the NBA.

Those were in reaction to her initial attacks upon me.  Try going back to
BEFORE she started accusing me of attacking her.  In other forums, the
attacks she made upon me would have brought FAR more "colorful" replies
than the very restrained comments you quote.

Go back to the first message in which she accuses me of attacking her,
the go BACK to the message from me that she's replying to...  If you find
fault with me THERE, I'll listen, but anything thereafter must be
interpreted in the context of replying to unsubstantiated and unrelenting
attack (as the above quotes were).
