E, your lies about me are getting out of hand. I think it's time that you and I stopped posting to and about each other, for awhile at least. You have repeatedly said you think such requests are reasonable and should be honored. I am formally asking you not to post to or about me for thirty days. Please honor your own belief that this is an appropriate request and should be complied with. Thank you.

I think it is you who was not paying attention... If you re-read my post, just the first three paragraphs or so, you will surely see that everything I said pertains to JLA and CH. My only mention of Poet was in the third person, as all my "you's" or "you boths" obviously referred to JLA and CH. They were the subjects of my post, not Poet.

CH has scared Poet. He needs to back off, and to do that is simple, and works fine. Stop acting like it's complicated: No posting to or about each other. No posting directly or indirectly. No quoting, no paraphrasing. JUST LEAVE THE OTHER PERSON STRICTLY ALONE. I am not commenting on what CH may have done. But if I was given that offer, and "just leave hte other person strictly alone" meant that I could not respond to ideas the other person raised, then I don't think I would agree. I would readily agree not to post about them. If pressed I might agree not to post to them. But if it was you asking me to leave you alone, and you made a post about say attacking George Bush's tax proposals, and I posted supporting them in a post to another person, then in my opinion I would be leaving you alone. I would be talking about the issue not you. If I do so politely and without reference to you, then you would have no reason to be upset at my posting activity. If it somehow became intolerable for you to read posts from me even if they where polite and where never directly about you then you could put me on ignore. I might even consider trying to go for the full "no to and about" rule as interpreted by you but only in an extreme case and only if it was temporary. However I doubt CH will agree to even a temporary "not to and about" when that idea is taken to an extreme and I don't think Poet is mearly looking for 2 or 3 week agreement... Tim
