"You did accuse me of harassing you, by merely posting to you. I wasn't flaming you at all.
have you forgotten?"

No I haven't forgotten. I didn't say you were flaming me. You made a personal criticism if I remember right. It changed the tone of the discussion to one of personal anymous. You had notified me previously not to post to you. The post you made to me seemed to be a challenge. I was convinced that whatever response I gave you could lead to a tit for tat personal slamming fest or at least that it would involve some rigor. Since you had declared that you did not want to discuss anything with me, I felt provoked.

I think my first comment to you on that episode was that "if" you do not want to have a discussion then don't post to me. I still feel that way. I find your divergent manner of dealing with things to be interesting sometimes. I don't mind it when it is focused on ideas or if other people want to take the bait of personal anymous. I am practicing a self discipline around personal interaction that does not allow me to participate in some forms of personal dialogue. That is about me and me not about me and you. To repeatedly insist that another person participate in something they have declared that they don't want is harrassment, IMO. If you want to label it fear feel free. I suppose there is a certain element of fear related to wanting to hold onto something one values. However, your representation, "fright," is overstated.
