I didn't say that. I said that I don't care if you're occasionally insulting because your contributions are a lot more than insults. I don't think what you've said to Jerry qualifies as "toxic" hostility, either. It's just normal hostility. If there's any listmember who reaches toxic levels of hostility, it's Carrol Cox, and I even put up with him.
