"For my part I'm sorry...I should have handled the Frank Farmer situation better than I did..."

ok, so i take it that this is your apology, right...?...

"[I] have decided to give this list one last shot and if nothing changes I'm gone."

newsflash: this list wasn't created for your sole
edification. it is for countless others as well. if
you go, that is your choice and you don't have to
make a big stink about it. if you stay, the better
as people such as myself will continue to learn from
you in a respectful environment.

"One size doesn't fit all"

wow!!! i never thought you would ever write that.
but thank you for finally realizing this crucial point.

"Whether you agree with me or not is your perogative..."

thank you for realizing that people have the right
to agree or disagree.

it's just not clear enough whether you understand
that taking personal information that was relayed
to you in private, advertising it in cyberspace
for the whole world to see, and then using that
intimate info as a weapon is just simply not acceptable.
you don't have to be 'dir' or 'diw' to realize
this subtle point. you can argue (have argued
and will argue) based on diving subject matter,
but i don't see why your frustration gets the best
of you and why you then have to resort to insult
and character assasination. will i be your next
target du jour if you get frustrated w/me?????????
can i trust you enough w/personal info? how can
i learn from you knowing that you could one day
betray my trust and use me as target practice????!!!

i thought you were once upon a time concerned about
your crediblity...?...how does your most recent
behaviour help that...? i'm not trying to inflame
the situation, really i'm not. i just wonder if
you ever considered these subtle (or perhaps not so
subtle) issues before you let your "frustration"
get the best of you.

(and sometimes, mike, w/all due respect, i see the
same exact behaviour coming from you sometimes that
you criticize others for. it makes it that much more
difficult to swallow what you have to offer if you
say/write the same thing that you criticize others for.
in short, i do see some hypocrisy in some of your posts
at times.)
