oops. my face is red. someone (whose name won't be mentioned)
told me that he really had cracked up and had gone off the
deep end. i wasn't aware that it was malicious gossip or name
calling but thought that it was (sort of) common knowledge.
i guess i should know better to repeat something when it is
bad about somebody else.

my comments are retracted.
