Of course it does and I have never seen this before. Someone threatening
slander or worse.
tt includes me, "mindless prattle", needless to say. At least I do mindful
prattle. I thought we connected in a constructive way with my anecdote
about George whom I equate with Australian Aborigine elders. But no,
nothing is ever enough or ever good enough for those open ended
reverse racists. Actually Kelda's comments are funny, extremist, illogical
and worse narrow minded like radical fundamnentalist religious types.

I think Kelda gets the idea by now so I suggest you critique her dialog any
way you choose. If she is taking names for "educational purposes" later on
then by all means give her good reason to write yours down. This reply is
nothing but comic relief.

OK here is what I really think: she got us going and made us think. Maybe
we owe her a debt of gratitude.
It actually made me realize that playing mental tricks on oneself to purge
one's mind of racist attitudes then this has been useful discourse.

On the other hand if she is taking names and copying quotes to share with
"students" as example of the poor state of social interaction
and attitudes about racism in the permaculture movement meybe she needs to
seek counseling because that is troubling. If it is something more evil
like legal stuff, casting aspersions in a public social media forum, I'd
like to know so I can delete her membership were.

I hope this answers your question. At least we are getting down to the
nitty gritty.
