Doug,
You're a liar.
One of your lies:
"You want to be in conversation with somebody like that, be my guest.
I'm trying to have no more of it. Although I do reserve the right to
defend myself against outright lies and character assassination.
davemarc, JBFRAME, s~Z, Terrance, Otto, Derek, everybody else
I've heard from offlist -- you're all correct, it's no use taking rj
and kai and the rest of those yapping dogs to task for their bad
manners, but I also know that you all understand the need to
occasionally stand up and speak up when somebody just won't stop with
the insults and poison, I've seen you all do it yourselves to one
degree or another (well, not JBFRAME], who always shows a
pleasant way of talking on Pynchon-L)."
You included me in the group that you heard from offlist. That was a
lie.
Why must all your posting includes references to the name of another
discussant, e.g. "nor do I agree with so-and-so when he/she
says....that so-and-so is writing gibberish."
Two more Doug tactics.
"Terrance said "The rocket promises salvation to those that believe or
long to transcend this Earth " and I trim the rest of a fine post,
observing in passing that Terrance has done more to sustain a serious
conversation in GRGR than just about anybody, and certainly he's done
the best job of making consistently substantial comments minus the ad
hominem attacks that characterize too many of his interlocutors'
responses."
This is what you wrote and posted to this list one year ago.
There are plenty more just like it. Not just from you, but from others.
Now I'm looking like a jackass in my own defense.
Enough Doug,
Please, I can't take it anymore.
