Roger, the fact is I'm out here and I'm watching people inside the list bump
into the glass walls David H. has created. I'm on the outside, not in. The
post I sent through Mark entitled "note" points to the exit.
David's succeeded in his vendetta-driven stunt by getting the list to fly
into a frenzy and cast the blame on me for the confusion. Candice, in
particular, has been thoroughly disoriented. Robin Hamilton. Even David
Bircumshaw, it seems. (And Candice, you refer to "my intervention" on the
British list, but let's not revive that: There are two sides to that story,
as you know, and today is another day.) I knew DH would do an impressive
job, but I wasn't prepared, honestly, for the extreme reaction that's been
directed against me.
Once again: Before David came on the list about 48 hours ago, I was
participating in conversations around different matters. When David, with
Carlo Pacelli's assistance, began his tirades, my response (tho I slipped
once with Pacelli) was to largely parry by not getting into an insult tit
for tat-- not even to the forged emails, which I mistakingly gathered people
would see through.
I was, and still am, as I indicated in the email sent through Mark,
perfectly willing to converse with David in a reasonable way about the
issues he's apparently so worked up about. David Barbour is right, Hess is a
smart fellow and capable of productive insight. But all he's offered so far
is clownish violence.
So once again (note to David H.): I've been waiting, and am still waiting,
for you to say something conducive to conversation; there is lots of stuff
publicly available from me, as you know, to give you a (sober) starting
point. You've shown Poetryetc that you are good at insults and camp;
articulate something now to show us what gives rise to such hostility. I'll
answer you and then we can proceed. It might be an interesting exchange.
(Remember that I did request that you acknowledge to the list your creation
of the additional email, and that you apologize to me for the innuendoes you
made pertaining to my family.)
Let's see what you have to say about what I've had to say.
Kent
