And presumably you can distinguish the two, and welcome the former and
killfile the latter - rather than insisting that all correspondance be onlist?
John, perhaps it would be more helpful for you to take an inner look at why this is such an issue for you. Just a thought.
I believe I was quite clear. If someone requires me to defend or clarify something I have said onlist, such a request should be made onlist. I will not do so offlist any longer. I have a right to ask people to respect my wishes and to ignore or killfile those who don't.
After my experience last year with offlist harassment, spam attacks and threats I feel quite fortunate that I had the paranoid foresight to keep my real life and online identities separate. You, Julia, Nick, Eileen and Jeffrey all dealt with the same garbage. No matter how much one corresponds with someone online, it does not reveal their true nature in real life.
I suggest you let this go. You're not going to change my mind.
Jon
