Here's what you wrote:
"Nice to hear from you Judy. I look back on the AMT days as an
important experience for me. There were times when I felt
misunderstood and very frustrated, but that stressful dynamic was the
reason I kept at it so long. It was incredibly useful for me to
articulate my thoughts about the movement in such detail, and it never
would have happened without me being so pissed off at your messages."
Please explain the basis on which you believe I
should have taken this as a sincere compliment.

Does what you wrote that I quoted above describe
my having gotten my points across?

That was par for the course on alt.m.t, and it
wasn't the problem as far as I was concerned--
except for the many occasions when your disrespect
involved outright misrepresentation of what was
going on in the discussion.
My problem with you, Curtis, was (and is) your
gross intellectual (and even factual) dishonesty.
With people like you, it's never entirely clear
whether they're *intending* to mislead and deceive,
or whether they've done such a snow job on
themselves that they genuinely believe their own
misrepresentations. So I'll have to give you the
benefit of the doubt on that point.
Before I sent this post, I went back and reviewed
some of our exchanges on alt.m.t to make sure I
wasn't being unfair to you, that I wasn't
remembering your participation as worse than it
actually was.
To the contrary, it was considerably worse than
I had remembered it.
