Calling me an arsehole was nice. I like it and it is in keeping with my opinion on profanity I mentioned earlier. ********************* Regarding my threat to D, when I said I kept grudge I meant exactly the opposite, which can make the later part of my statement, the threat, null for some views. Maybe a bad joke (highly inopportune one too, as it has turned out to be). Would you say it is not possible? I can give you an earlier instance. I said I apologised. I did exactly the opposite. Apology is speech in self-defence. I just retracted my statement and told I was sorry. D thinks it is only a quarter of an apology. Further, my first message to D and D's reply should give some perspective, if anybody is bothered other than to go on a lynching spree. On another vein, I think I owe D another apology (meaning the opposite) for that possibly misconstrued threat of mine. After all, not what I meant but what effect my words produced, is the relevant thing. I am not penitent or ashamed but just being reasonable. Since she felt threatened by me (that also through personal mail), I retract that message and ask her to forgive my misadventure. I am not ideologically bound (in narrow sense) and I don't have firm faiths. I have no problem being disproved. I state this because those who put me down to some ideological mass hostile to theirs would naturally consider my retraction an instance of cunning. Arunima's view of taking on the crappy threats from an arsehole (is that her view? then, the STFU she imposes on the arsehole is slightly off) is sensible because she is willing to meet the adversaries, whereas some others seem to want a gender neutral secure environment. Can you afford that, at least as yet? ************* The mod guy did an unpardonable thing. He has gone further with trying to trace my location and publishing it. All this, while blocking my messages! Did anybody notice it? I asked him to remove it but he hasn't complied. I explained to some why I took a false name and revealed my true identity to them, especially to the person who was hurt by my action. I have reported abuse on the guy. If nothing is done about that I will take recourse to a self-imposed STFU and leave. In that case, I will be removing all my posts to the group.
