Like he says, Jim, "put him down in a public forum for an opinion and w=
atch out." To Roger, a "put down" means to disagree with his opinion in=
any way without fisrt coating your response in sweetness & cream. It's=
an easy tactic, which he uses to make himself look like a victim. Then=
the stage is nicely set for his next little diatribe. When that starts=
, "watch out."
