It is true that I quoted your post when I spoke to Neocon. I believe I also posted it once when speaking to E. But it was not done gratuitously to get in cheap shots. It was done openly to address an issue that has become a central concern and focus of the entire thread. As you are the subject under discussion, it seems impossible to avoid the occasional reference to you. In any case, my remark was a direct quote and was specific, so that it may of course we defended against as to inaccuracy. I encourage you to do so.

Having said all of that, I acknowledge that I quoted your words to another party. But it was open, specific and not gratuitous or self serving. I have no personal stake in falsely characterizing you behind your back. I am one of those who have said only a few words to you in the last month. Using your quote to explain to Neocon was really no different than posting a link to pertinent information. Your post was pertinent so I quoted it. That is not the same as talking about you for private gain.

Perhaps I should have sent a link to you in case it got missed, so that you would know that your words were being quoted in support of a position. Yes, that would have been more thoughtful. I was busy with a lot of things here. I am sorry.
