 ALDHA-L a while ago insulting the people who live and work around 
Saddleback. 
 What was it that you called them, R&R? Brownshirts, and gullible desperate 
 shills, wasn't it?
  By the way, I subscribe to ATML from my work address, and haven't seen an 
 email in over a week. Did the IRS finally figure out what the 'Center For AT 
 Studies' really was?

    *** This is just the desperate attempt of a person who isn't beneath 
assuming the role being a site snitch or sh*t slinger and doesn't feel 
embarrassed or uncouth using an outright broadside to try and defame a person 
due to un-credible personal grudge. Or sneaking around making bogus attempts 
to expose someone for obviously contemptible reasons. 

    Because TJ had some debates with me where he obviously didn't feel 
satisfaction it looks like he now feels the need to malign me in public, how 
pathetic. His sassy comebacks are self-embarrassing and unfortunately the 
best he can do. I believe most people on these forums to be above this petty 
level of scurrilous vindictiveness. It appears old TJ doesn't realize when he 
has had his snout cleaned and still insists on nipping at the pantleg. 
  
   I resent being depicted as a troll or somebody who doesn't quite live up 
to the level of the forum. Perhaps this is more likely the result of the 
poster not being able to comprehend or digest strong points. In any case, 
running around like a site nebbish and making an effort to gain public 
disapproval for an adversary is kind of nebulous and kind of makes the 
perpetrator appear like a petty crank. 

     I can stick to forum topics or decorum anytime. I tend to like my 
debates undiluted, direct and strong and like to think I have the personal 
strength to understand others strong feelings and react maturely. If others 
would prefer a more civil approach I can respect them and accommodate that 
-but I find that that usually comes up as an evasion. One thing I would never 
resort to, however, is the cheap slander directed at me here and hope I never 
lose the ability to see what it would make me look like in doing. I won't 
pain the site members with anymore silly personal snits like this one, but I 
felt a need to indicate the source.

     Please refrain from this sort of foolishness. It is one of the few 
things I would consider worth censoring.
