"My behavior was never legally harassing,"

The laws on the subject were posted and many here felt the behavior rose to a level that it could be labeled legally harassing. It was not put to the test even though you demonstrated some interest in the prospects. I note that your current position about carrying things beyond SI seems different.

"nor apparently did SI consider it harassing under the TOU." How did you determine this? Did SI admin actually take a stand? I understood that they were simply being unavailable at the time.

"Certainly I was careful in the wording of statements...

I would say careful is a generous word. Careful to not get caught maybe. You deliberately withheld information, knowing that people had the wrong idea. I would put this in the category of contributory neglegence, to the extent that you deliverately allowed people to be deceived.

"You will have to go a long way to persuade me that Laz and JLA were ever in my corner.

I remember JLA making strong statements in your defense over the IHUB shananigans. I remember that you allowed him to do so to the extent that he found himself painted into a corner...a corner with you and one that he didn't deserve to be in. You could have prevented that.

I remember that Laz made more than one attempt to sponsor you back into discussion forums at your request, only to find himself pressed upon by blackmail attempts by you.

I mention these things only because I think your claim to be stating the objective facts was a bit incomplete. I really see no need to rehash all of these points otherwise.
