These are my final remarks on the subject, Aleta. If you truly examine your own conscience in this matter, you will find that you've been less than fair in your characterizations of me. Sure, way back, I hit you hard when you posted negatively as a non Zulu shareholder, while you were posing as a moderate with respect to Zulu. But you deserved it. You were pretending to be one thing, but acting quite like another. It was only a few months ago you finally admitted daytrading in both stocks. The fact is, I didn't and don't deserve any of the characterizations which you've put on me. These are the facts: 1) I never plagiarized anything--and you never apologized for your misunderstanding of what plagiarism meant. You just finally admitted you didn't no what it meant--no apology. 2) I never called you "poor white trash." The fact that you said I did is par to calling me a racist. I'm not, never was and never will be! wlcnyc very well described what happened in that situation. You amplified it into a racist thing. That was wrong! 3) I never lied to you. That I don't lie to people and I don't engage in gossip is a primary reason why I have so many friendships and maybe even has something to do with why I call myself PartyTime--we share in fun, not misery. And I'm certainly not going to lie in a public situation. To do so would be wrong, and I wouldn't do it. 4) I didn't appreciate your getting me kicked off of SI becuase I quoted an article from The National Standard: The Network that had the f-word in it. Imagine being suspended for this on the same day Ken Starr had Bill Clinton's sex life piped into every American family's home! Finally, Aleta, values are important to me, whether you recognize this or not. That's it. Hopefully, my last words in the matter. My apologies to my colleagues on this and the ESVS/Yahoo thread for my participation in stuff none of you needed to hear.
