Oh, yes you did. For example, you
compared me to whacko rightist Buck
Turgidson.

I'm amazed you still cling to the wan hope that Robinson was well cast
as Dathan and that CB wouldn't have been more suitable.

I think the association of Robinson
with gangster roles was just what
DeMille was aiming for

I don't think he would have, but he
should have.

It doesn't matter whether you did or not. You gave Shelps an opening,
and that's what matters -- to him, anyway.

He can now belch and spew and do his usual pathetic little dance and
get people to pay attention to him, which is what he wants.

And you can bet that he will now call me a coward for refusing to
confront him directly and then he'll move on to insulting my blog,
because that's what he does -- he tries to poke you where he thinks
you're vulnerable in order to get you to respond.

It's sad. He's sad. Just ignore him.
