I don't hold any grudges against Bill Ryan, but I'm not going to hide the fact that I don't particularly like the man either. And when I call him an obsessive-compulsive narcissist and a Machiavellian sociopath, then that's not gratuitous name-calling, nor any unprocessed grudge, but rather an accurate description of the man's psychological makeup, based upon my experience with, research about and education in the field.
In addition to the above, when I told Sam that he was being an apologist, that too was not any name-calling, nor any grudge. Sam is a friend of mine, and I was merely confronting him with the very truth he keeps running away from. And it was not the first time I have had to do this either, although the previous time I did actually manage to get through to him and wake him up, albeit that it took me quite some time and a lot of effort to get him there.
Now, I can't speak for Fred, but I don't think Fred holds any personal grudges against El Sombrero™ either. I see Fred's contributions in the research regarding Bill Ryan as very interesting, serene and factual.
Oh, and I most definitely don't have anything against TargeT either. On the contrary, I like and respect him for what he does. And maybe you've missed it, Sandy, but I'm the guy who has already repeatedly asked the participants of this thread to refrain from going ad hominem with one another.
There's no personal bias here, Sandy. I report verifiable facts only. And I think that this is no different whereas Fred is concerned.
