clo,
re: "as I read the post I really didn't see it as an attack on you."
Oh, it was.
The post began with:
This post is prompted by Decomposed's continued fascination with M3. If ever there was a case of missing the forest from the trees, it's this M3 business.
Not too bad, but far from friendly given that it was being posted behind my back.
But this other part:
And this is where Decomposed misses the boat - excuse the pun. You see, he believes in all that jazz about how the poor deserve what they get because they are lazy, etc. He said so, last time we talked about it.
That's WAY out of line. You'll note he didn't quote me or even site the post he was referencing. Do you REALLY think I'm so stupid as to blame the whole poverty situation on one item, or to say that a class of people DESERVE misery? My actual statements, reasoning and so forth were summed up with "etc." Wait until someone does that to you, and you'll recognize it as taunting... either to try to draw out someone maniati didn't really believe had ignored him, or to lob grenades when he knew my back was turned.
That was maniati's way, to attack those who couldn't or wouldn't fight back - badgering in that manner for MONTHS after the last response by whoever he had targeted. He was a regular bulldog who just couldn't let go. I'm sure, btw, that similar behavior by maniati was high on the list of reasons why pmcw left the board, but maybe one of you with pmcw's e-mail address could ask him to speak for himself.
Pretty unbelievable.
