To: Poet who wrote (33866 ) 12/1/2000 2:30:06 AM From: Sully- Read Replies (1) | Respond to of 35685 Poet, I think it is a shame that you publicly misrepresent information we shared privately. I find that very disconcerting Poet. I don't find it out of character however. FWIW, the only threat in our PM's was from you to me IMO. As I said in our PM's about the non-existent threat; Feel free to get lawyers & go for it if you feel you have a case. I did nothing as you suggested & fear no reprisal in any way. I am completely satisfied there is no case to be made on your part. However, if you would like, perhaps we could send a copy of all the PM's in question to SI Bob. Let him read the alleged threat as claimed in the PM & have him arbitrate the matter. That seems fair to me, now that you have made your baseless claim a public matter. I do not know SI Bob other than the occasional post, but he seems to be fair minded & seems to have experience in disputes over who said what, or how, etc. Perhaps he could also read your words & determine that perhaps you made some form of threat at me as well? If he says I threatened you as per your claim, then you have all the fodder you will ever need. I will gladly apologize on this thread in a sincere manner. Vice versa, you make the apology on this thread. Perhaps we could make a mutual agreement..... if SI Bob makes a determination that a threat was made, the offending party agrees to a one week suspension from SI. One month? Perhaps two months? Less? More? What do you think? I'm game. What say ye? :-| On the matter of making denigrating comments; I don't think personal attacks & denigrating comments are very civil discourse. I react harshly to that. Even more so when lies, misleading info & intentional deceit are woven into malicious, denigrating invective against another person. I just can't help it sometimes. Wrong is wrong & all that. However, I just don't understand how you, bonnie, rose & your porch peers can participate in &/or support such activities, let alone disagree with it in principle. What ever floats your boat Poet. I will stand up & fight it when I see it. It is my right to freely express my opinions & back them up with facts (IE, your own words). Ain't democracy great?
