I've asked you to leave me alone for nine months now. I have nothing for you. Not a thing. Please leave me alone.
You appear to be attempting to blackmail Lazarus Long into letting you onto the Slightly Moderated Boxing Ring. He has given me his consent to publish these PM's, which you have not specifically deemed as private and thus are considered postable by SI Jeff. It looks to me as though these threats violate the TOU.
I've bolded your threats:

I have been informed that the SMBR still is discussing me from time to time I wouldn't know since I don't
read threads I can't post on. But since I am still being attacked there, and you are apparently unable to
control that, perhaps it's time you removed the restriction so I can defend myself where necessary.
Unless you continue to believe that it's okay to attack people who can't defend themselves. If you believe
that, of course you do.

Should I assume that you have decided not to respond to my earlier PM? Or did you overlook it, or are you
in the process of responding?

Check the bottom of the header. According to Jeff, what you see there is copacetic. Your choices are to
have your name listed in the header or to accept that you can be discussed on a thread where you cannot
respond.

Well, if the standard of behavior you accept is what Jeff allows, I guess it's time I went back to posting to
and about Poet, since Jeff allows that.
I'm willing to follow your lead.

That is not what I said. If I can list bannees in the header, I will try to enforce a "no discussion" rule.

I don't agree, but in any case, since you're not willing to let me defend myself, nor give any consideration to
my voluntary period of not posting to or about Poet, I guess there's no point in continuing it.
I'll make sure Poet knows who to thank.

I'm consulting with her right now. I've to board a flight in about an hour and will be out of contact until this
evening.

Would you provide links to these discussions about you?

If you search your thread for CH, you'll find at least some of them.

I'm not interested in an extended discussion of this.
I have been discussed and attacked on the thread.
It's your choice whether you keep me moderated off so I can respond to them.
Choices have consequences.
Make your decision.

If you have evidence of any attacks on you since March 15- -over a month ago, and which was responded
to- -produce it. The people involved will be warned. If they re-offend, they will be suspended or banned.

It appears that your decision is to continue to prevent me from access to respond.
So now we both know where we stand.

Since you think you have something to respond to, you must know what it is.
So tell me, please. What is there to respond to? I assume it wasn't Poet who attacked you. Is that correct?
Because if it wasn't Poet, why do intend to retaliate against her?

You have apparently made your decision, so I see no benefit in continuing our discussion.
If you change your mind, let me know. |
