Let go of my hair, you are hurting my neck. And get your face out of my face. I don't care how quietly you say you are replying, your reply would have better been sent by PM and you know it. Jackie, here's another thread it seems needs a lock on it. Sorry to subject you to this, folks.

Connie, you know full well that I have sent you several notes, to which you refused to reply. It is grossly misleading to berate me for not communicating with you by PM.

And since you made your charge publicly (in red, no less), indeed without preceding it by PM, how can you object that I want the same public that heard you to hear my response? Is your notion that you are entitled to speak, but I am not entitled to respond?

A bit more temperate please, gal.

Post deleted by me. I sent it off to Connie directly.

I'm sorry I answered in this thread. I wanted to console a friend and I responded incorrectly. Not incorrectly as to the content of my response, but incorrectly because I did not consider the fact that it would generate a response from sombody I have publicly said I did not wish to deal with anymore.

Please excuse me everybody.

bel, I'd ask that you read a bit more carefully.

First, you are ignoring all of my comment other than the white "aside". That is not the meat of the matter.

But as to that side point: I've been quite clear on that my position is that communications are not automatically privileged, merely because the sender wants them to be. That does not bar the recipient from agreeing to confidentiality -- and when the recipient has made that agreement, he or she durn well ought to honor it.

Indeed, bel, I as a lawyer could be severely censured if I broke a confidentiality agreement. I take such things seriously, as part of my professional obligations, and I do not think they should be trivialized.

Connie, your words were strong and heartening - good on you "gal" ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Whatever is said, the dog returns to his sick. Some might think this is a sign not just of abusive behaviour but of serious mental illness.

I will repeat publicly what I have already said to the administrator privately: the only issue is how many people will desert this board due to the malicious and foul pollution in the cocktail, before the inevitable ban on the perpetrator is put into effect.

Maverick, I see lots of colorful words in your post, but I am unable to find a single factual claim or reasoned argument to which to respond.

On what ground to you think I should be "banned"? Can you point to anything I have done in this discussion other than simply respond, temperately, to what Connie et al. had to say? Is your notion that responses and responders with which you disagree should be censored or banned?

Edit: mav, have you not been a strong opponent of censorship, as I recall (though I did not yet LIU), when your own remarks were challenged?
