>Much as I respect all those involved, I defend Garrett's response. What Tamar does in her private practices is really her business.

And, my point was that Tamar made assertions, and asking what her experience is is fair.

As for JVP's tone: I've said it before, and I'll say it again, y'all let his abrasive tone interfere with what is being said.

>I'm surprised that you would lend credence to this sort of attack

But, then, I don't agree that it *is* an attack.

>on a respected member of our community. You've been hanging with those asswipe losers at DevX for too long and it shows.

That is over the top, John, and you know it.

>Tamar has nothing to prove to us;

Prove? Has Tamar consistently shown she is a valuable, nay critical member of our community? Yes, without question. Is she intelligent, hardworking, and dedicated? Yes, of course. Do I adhere to the concept you seem to be promoting of "sacred cows?" Nope.

> if FPA can be improved, great.

My post had nothing to do with this issue, John.

> But not this way, not in this tone. We are eating our young here.

Excuse me for having a different level of respect for my community. I happen to think that we are not as fragile as you seem to think we are.
