Re: "What was the thread, what was the post. I have defended you a couple of times on this thread, and want the straight story." OK, I'll tell the story at the risk of boring everybody: A couple of years ago Paul Engel wrote a very nice article about Intel and it's product lines etc and he was nice enough to post it here. Albert claimed Paul plagiarized the article. Paul demanded that Albert back up his claim but being the weenie Albert is, he simply repeated the claim over and over and refused to provide anything whatsoever as proof (Kind of like today when he claimed he had proof I was lying about my Puts but never presented any). This went on for some time and I posted here on this thread that Albert had contacted me by PM and explained that he was ashamed of his behavior but too embarrassed to admit it here in public. This was something I made up and nobody believed it nor was anyone expected to. It was poking fun at Albert. Albert was so enraged that he posted the most foul, vulgar disgraceful message ever seen here toward me accusing me of every horrible act imaginable with children and animals. I don't remember the exact content because it was pulled minutes later by the webmistress at the time, Jill. I immediately posted here that my post was a fabrication and only intended to show Albert what it felt like when people make up lies about you, as Albert had been doing about Paul. Albert was banished from SI for a few weeks, if I remember correctly and returned, only to be kicked off again because of bad behavior. I wrote the webmistress, telling her that I was the original person insulted here by Albert and I thought he should be reinstated because he provided an interesting view and deserved to be heard. She replied saying Albert had caused trouble on multiple groups, not just this AMD thread and his behavior was simply unacceptable. That's the story. If Paul's reading he can confirm it or at least the parts he was privy to. EP
