I'll answer in two parts.

PART ONE:

X said she found it breathtakingly bad to use Rambi's real name in a post. She was shocked, shocked.

You yourself jumped in with an extreme, character-assassination condemnation of me on that ludicrously off-base issue.

This is just the first of your posts to me on the subject of using Rambi's first name here. You cited a cop killer. You warned people about me, suggesting that anyone who had had the bad judgment to let me know their first name made a -- in caps -- BIG MISTAKE:

Message 17941273

I then showed that the first word in a post of your wife's, in response to Rambi's very last post, was Rambi's first name. I informed you that Rambi's first name and last name are freely shared publicly by Rambi herself. I pointed out that Rambi refers to herself on SI by her first name quite routinely. I showed that when your wife did it, X did not find it breathtakingly appalling.

You did not, with this information that should have embarrassed you, retract your dire and insulting warning regarding me and names. Your substitute was to say that if it was inadvertent, it could be forgiven.

Neither has X acknowledged how utterly silly the Rambi first name breathless shock at a breach of confidentiality was. I like that, actually, because it puts all her calumnies (take the "inside out" one just posted) into perspective: consider the objectivity of the source, as revealed by this incident.

...continued, with an fuller answer to your question...
