Can you two take this somewhere else? It is a distraction from a good thread. Thanks.

The issue was whether you crossed the line and abused your power to control what is read and not read on SI, a very plausible contention. How about one simple issue at a time? Your assertion that I edited posts of yours. You said it, I didn't. You haven't even opined why you think it's a true allegation, let alone provided anything resembling evidence. Amr was greedy and didn't want the competition and you helped him to get rid of it. LOL! Is that what this is really about? Whether Amr's a good guy or bad guy, ain't no way you could've ever been "competition" to him. A threat so enormous that he somehow convinced (bribed? extorted? threatened?) me to shut down your account? Get real! At most you might've been a minor annoyance to him. And your assertion runs 100% contrary to a piece of evidence you yourself presented: That I knew you had a new account, were using it to advertise your site, and rather than terminating your new account, I warned you to quit advertising in your posts and to do so in your profile instead. That single PM makes a farce of all of your allegations. If I were financially or otherwise motivated to 86 your previous account, surely I would've done the same with your new one. I don't remember the particulars surrounding the termination of your previous account. I think it's extremely unlikely that it was as you portray it: the sudden termination without violation or warning of an infringement-free account. But there's just one more thing. If you're so convinced I harmed you and claim to have proof that not only did I harm you, but that I had a motive to do so, then why haven't you sued me? Enough talk. Just do it. Or is it your intention to defame me to such an extent that I'll be the one who sues? You'll have to try harder. I'm not litigious (sp?) by nature, am pretty busy, and the things you keep saying about me, though libelous, are also known by most as quite ridiculous. Your deliberate deletion of scores of posts and tampering and altering others* doesn't help your case.* Of course, I deleted scores of posts, and did so deliberately. That was my job. Actually, it was likely hundreds rather than "scores". And there you go with that "tampering and altering" bit again. I know you're lying, you know you're lying, but you keep saying it. Show me one post I altered.
