Attention Michael. See bottom of this post.

Haqi: I see. Nice!

You said I called you "'unintelligent.'"

Now, instead of acknowledging that you were wrong and admitting that I never called you "unintelligent," you elide...

into...

"Calling all of my friends, and me collectively, "unintelligent" "

Well, I surely did say that PROLIFE was, or appeared to me to be, "unintelligent," and worse! (Let me take the opportunity to apologize again for that. I am truly sorry, PROLIFE. It was wrong and I was wrong.) But I did not say it about Neocon or Michael or JLA or you, unless it has slipped my mind.

So we are back where we were.

Show me where I called YOU, or NEOCON, or JLA, and MICHAEL... (seriatum or "collectively")

quote unintelligent unquote.

You must have been quoting me. I say this because 1: you used quotation marks, and 2: you say in this last post that "it is just a bit more than implication.

Please tell me where you got that "You called me "unintelligent" " remark? Okay? Thanks.

Now we come to "self-professed snob."

You have not addressed that accusation. You say I have "an air of superiority." But what you said is not that. You called me a "self-professed snob."

Please substantiate.

Now there's this. If you were capable of embarrassment, you would be mortified by it, but it shall disappear from the screen w/o a murmur of acknowledgement from you. The thing is, I don't hold this in any way against you. There is such a thing as mis-speaking. It is not a crime!

Michael, please, I beg of you, explain to him why what he wrote,

<<<I never accused you of reporting anyone to SI.>>>

(to which I replied, "Of course not, why would you?," which infuriated him)

is not identical with what (I assume) he thinks he wrote,

"I never reported you to SI or threatened to."

I have pretty much given up, Michael. Do it by PM, that will be best. He will never admit that the error was his any more than he will admit that I didn't call him "unintelligent" or profess myself to be a snob. This is in the nature of a "blind spot." I've experienced them myself.

<<<I will be happy to keep quiet, but in order to do so, a plan will need to be worked out so that neither of us has the last word. ~H~>>>

I will give you the last word.

Haqi, I will stop posting as soon as you say, maybe at the beginning and end of a post, "This is my last post, and my friends, also, have promised me that they will stop excavating the subject and making side-references to it and to you."

So there's the plan you ask for, with this modification: You may have the last word. I don't need it. What I need is merely the assurance that certain (gang-like, imo) behavior toward me on the part of you, PROLIFE, Neocon, JLA, and now Michael, will stop.

Edwarda, our omboudsfigure, may "referee"! If a cybersignatory treacherously breaks the agreement, and she sees it, she will forward the post to me for reply!
