Hi, prevaricating joe! Just fyi, here is, pasted, the PM I just sent to SI Jeff:

Hi, Jeff.

Please read a few replies to average joe's public post announcing that he had complained to you.

This guy's specialty is lying and insinuation intended to be believed, and he complains about my joke posts that simply ridicule his misquoting, insinuating, and outright lying about people?

The two posts of mine below are jokes, of course, as I assume you know. You'll have a little reading to do to understand the reason for them. The point, again, was to call attention to the dishonest use of purported "quotes," and of character assassination by insinuation. Those are average joe's specialties.

Almost all the links I provide are to posts of mine, simply because I can find those easily and fast. While looking, btw, I notice that the only places I posted yesterday were on the Boxing Ring (No Gloves(!)) thread, LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE TELL US A JOKE thread, and the joke Dictionary thread!

Did anyone (other than average joe) not know that those posts were making satirical fun of average joe's habitual lies? I'll give some links that elucidate this situation. Before I do: The worst of his recent transgression, imo, is the implications about Poet and "off shore trading," which I understand he was not sanctioned for.

A post of mine from yesterday that happens to contain a list of a few of aj's recent unsubstantiated insinuations. Note: He has not denied any of these, or substantiated, or retracted, or apologized, though in the case of the false quote of me, he -- a first -- admitted he had attributed to me the thoughts of some of my "chums.") Message 15425025

The most serious of these is his comments regarding Poet, a professional options trader, and "off shore trading." When, distressed, she asked for a retraction or some reason for his having said that, his reply was that under certain circumstances, off shore trading "is not illegal, so don't sweat it." Since then, she has asked him many times to justify the insinuation or produce evidence, or a justification, for it. He does neither. (I understand SI declined to sanction him for this calumny against a trading professional.)

For context, a series of other outlandish remarks I've made, based, again, on the fact that aj puts quotes around things that aren't quotes to imply they are things you have said, and routinely tells lies by insinuation. I post these because they make clear that my two posts are satirical, like these and others. (Though his lies are meant to be believed.)

Below is aj's response to the ClickThePlanet (save habitats; shows population increase, habitat decrease) link I posted in response to his anti-RU486 link. This is typical, please read it. He refers to the project as a "land swindle," says he will have a friend "check this out." Of course he never does. He is a hit and run insinuator. Though "this land swindle" is hardly an insinuation, it's a plain assertion that I've posted a link to a swindle.

Message 15418576 (here I object to the "male domination and power" post, because I am not a cartoon, and also it happens that I have never discussed feminism, male domination, power, or my attitudes about any related subjects. NOTE: He failed to retract the implication contained in that post, and in the remark "Sorry about upsetting another apple cart on you!")

Message 15406378
Message 15418576 (I object that aj 'quotes' me, not only because it "quotes" me as saying something I didn't and wouldn't, it even calls that phrase "E's classification.")

Message 15428243 (I acknowledge average's 'retraction,' and ask him again about the offshore trading remarks.)

Message 15428733 (average joe's "I'll take your 'abject obeisance' thanks" post. The quotes are to imply that I had offered abject obeisance to him. I had not.

ADDENDUM:

An item from history that shows average joe's tactics, and that ridiculing them is appropriate: Message 14967181

In that post, average joe describes a post of X the Unknown's as "sexist." Please read her post! This was his explantion:
Message 14968098

But following the "explanation" he continued to make references to X's "most sexist post." (Insinuation: that there were lots of them.) Of course those who hadn't seen his explanation merely saw the references to X's sexist post.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

It hasn't escaped my notice, in compiling these links, that this is all absurd.

My defense is that he is beyond satire, but that I gave it a try.

My request is that average joe be instructed to stop making unfounded insinuations or charges.

My pleasure is to have shown he can't take even a joke taste of his own medicine, the crybaby.

Whatever you decide to do, Jeff, is okay with me, I'll have no complaints.
