My response to your post Aleta is the same as it was on Yahoo/ESVS: It truly amazes me how sometimes you can make such perfect common sense, and then all of a sudden stray into territory that makes me think you're a resident in the Deep Space Nine space station where so many kinds of humanocreatures co-exist. First off, I'm highly appreciative of your supporting remarks concerning Mkingsle's intimidation. My reponse is simple and rooted in a statement I've made in the past: I'm not going to take his bum trip! His actions are his own actions; and mine are mine. I'm comfortable with where I'm at; it's up to him to be comfortable with where he's at. Whatever his motivation--I can't account for it--he went too far. But he's gone off the beaten path before only to come back OK. I hope once again he comes back OK. No, I'm not reporting him. He can be his own judge. But relative to his statement that Hayton was in Palm Springs? Well, that simply cannot be a true remark. The only way in which I can account for such a contradictory remark, if what he says is true, is someone in the Zulu office thought Hayton returned to his home in Palm Springs, unaware of the fact that Hayton returned to his home in Newport. When you've got the money to travel and you have several homes, leaving the office saying, "I'm going home," can leave one with less than certain information. I'm confident my reporting to you about our Friday morning meeting will be verified. I've no doubt about this. Now, Aleta, here's how you get to Deep Space Nine. A Hayton imposter?!? That's really funny and a well-rooted paranoic position. I provided a vivid description of what Hayton looks like. He also handed me a "Draft 1" copy of the press release that went out that very morning, and asked if I had yet seen it on the wires. So, nope. Nice try. Hell of a reach. But this man I met was no Hayton imposter. No imposter would have the knowledge of the company that this man had. I find even your raising this possibility as comical, at best, particularly given your own experience. Regarding my feelings toward you and your contact with Hayton? Wrong! Terribly wrong! You're conveniently forgetting the clear fact that I was one of your defenders (see my past ESVS/Yahoo posts near that time period) when everyone jumped on you, when you reported that you and Hayton had a conversation. I never doubted you. And, even funnier is your implication that I was jealous that he contacted you, and not myself? There you go again, you're out there in that Deep Space Nine world. The fact is I encourage positive relationships among each participant on this thread, including you, whether you recognize it or not. Why not, here now, simply admit you don't see me in a positive light and that this dates back to when I--perhaps too harshly-- ruffled your feathers when you were posting negatively and parroting Wired and other negative posters? In any event, once again, I thank you for your kind remarks regarding the Mkingle incident. I'm perfectly willing to accept you for who you are; but you are not at all willing to accept me for who I am. And that's a that. In conclusion, I'm absolutely appalled no one, including you, has taken the time to contact the Boston hotel (617/262-9600) to verify Hayton's presence, where room and telephone records (he also did a lot of faxing) would verify his presence.
