Re: Kol Isha and Marilyn Manson

[Lori Cahan-Simon <l_cahan...>]

Alex, will you please stop.  You are embarrassing me.  You are talking 
about me and not with me and you are not reading all the relevant posts 
or missing something, I believe.  You are talking about a situation, but 
not describing it as it was.  If you care to rant for your side, please 
do not involve me any more unless you talk to me.

Thank you,
Lorele
