--Thanks, math. I think you're the only one who ever took the time to verify my claims. The truth is, of course, that I never did call kirk a bad name.
I have asked him several times to give a link to the post, or at least tell everyone what "bad name" I called him, but he continually ignores the request. I wonder why? -:)
Again, anyone can go see for themselves. A while back, after the 3rd or 4th time he said on Yahoo that I had called him "bad names," I checked for myself, just to make sure my memory was accurate. The dates to look at begin in March of 2004. After March 21, I was gone until May 23. My final post was May 31. So it would be very easy to research with those dates.
My notes aren't very good, but it was around 3/21 that kirk threatened to kick me off. I then told him if he wanted me to leave, all he had to do was ask, and I would leave.
Despite what he and honey say, that was the only time that happened before he actually asked me to leave.
In addition to the "word games" incident (which was really just a joke--he posted something which just lent itself to a quip), there was a post in which kirk leveled some unsubstantiated charges against brinker.
All I did was tell him it wasn't really fair to say something like that about a competitor with zero substantiation, or even any evidence. Kirk got really mad about that.
But I personally believe that kirk had been wanting to get rid of me for a long time, because I had been pointing out the bashers' spin for a long time, and I wasn't responding to their insults by leaving, as others had done during my tenure. IOW, the insults didn't work, so that only left one other option.
Again, anyone can go there and see for himself.
SI says I have one post left. I don't know if that is this one, or if I have one more.
I probably have ZERO more! -:) After THIS post, I imagine kirk will put in the word to have me terminated. |
