Friends (RE: Oil, and the world beyond)

(Sorry folks, yet another e-mail that's not about Disney comics. I'll make
it as short as possible.)

There is no need for a friend to defend a person if that person is capable
of defending himself. It only confuses the discussion (especially if it's an
e-mail discussion, where you can't hear voices or see facial expressions).
People start mixing up who said what and why. See that HorizonHse's recent
remarks.

You know I have friends myself here, who were heavily attacked in the past.
By each other, in fact.
I tried everything possible to help them, and didn't succeed, so I stopped
trying. But I hope no-one is interpreting any silence from my side as an
agreement with anything.

No, that's not true. 8-)
