Sir:
I will apologize to you for calling you a thief; that was probably uncalled for. I hereby apologize for that and any mention of stealing on your part. That, after consideration, wrong on my part. I have thought about this myself for several days and I , too, will ask the SI administration to remove that post, because I know what it is like to have been accused of something that I know is not true or provable. For example, Message 6580296 , made me think about this, because, for example, the AMA does not investigate doctors (state societies do, so I knew that even if there were somebody with the same name, that statement could not be true).
As far as you are concerned, your private identity on SI is not a right - it is discoverable by law, this has been proven in court cases already; so you must do what you must do and we will see where it goes. Your identity will be revealed as soon as your complaint or subpoena or whatever comes in the mail (you cannot charge someone anonymously in this country) or is delivered.
So, in summary, I apologize for calling you a thief; that was unfair. The rest, you must do what you must do. We will see who you really are then.
Sincerely,
Howard Epstein |
