Hi Polly,
You know, I don't get the flaming. Someone posted this link to this guy
cougar's post. I finally went there out of curiosity and was really
offended. I made that comment (I basically agreed with the person that
posted the link), and then it has turned into this ugly thing.
I do think that the entire farming community needs to join together. As long
as we go for this infighting, the Big Guys win cause we're too busy going at
each other.
One fellow wrote me and said I was the pot calling the kettle black. He
assumed I was an organic purist. I wrote him back and said I'm not, I'm a
woman that's offended by violence, which was my interpretation of this guy
cougar's comments. Rude. If he wants to dissuade people from organic, that's
not it.
Maybe it's the heat. Maybe it's the drought. Maybe it's big brother got us
all up against the wall. I don't know. I sure didn't need to see everyone
flaming each other! What's the point?
Thanks for letting me rant.
The BIRC people are good. I knew they'd have some leads for you.
Good luck,
diane

Diane,
Thanks a bunch, I called BIRC and they will probably be able to find a
reference for me.
I guess with all the flaming going on in SANET right now, people are
finding it much easier to post these replies privately......
