But what you say above is a bit of misdirection. The fact is that your
post was gratuitously insulting and is reflective of the kinds of
things we should all be trying to avoid. Not by a few people picking
up their marbles and going elsewhere (while still keeping their eyes
on where they've been), but by being more tolerant of people with
opposing views. I'm not saying I haven't slipped on occasion, but I
try not to do this. Which explains why I felt comfortable challenging
Brian Siano's assertion that I engaged in "mean-spirited rants" and
Phil Forrest's statement that I "spewed filth" because I knew they
couldn't back them up with quotes that would have been readily
available in the archives if not in their own files.
I don't _need_ to back it up with quotes: long-time readers of this list
have seen more than enough of your track record. The gratuitous insults
at UCD employees. Your consistent insulting of Melani Lamond; she claims
that you'd threatened to sue her. And lately, your eagerness to accuse
Kyle Cassidy of engaging of censorship, and of childish motives of
taking his toys and going away.And those of us who've _tried_ to work
with you on things, like the Historic District issue a few years back,
know how quickly you turn angry and insulting on the slightest
provocation-- like, when people won't do what you tell them.
Generally, Al, you _are_ a pretty mean-spirited fellow around here. I'll
grant that you occasionally back off from these with Uriah Heep-like
admissions, but I've known you long enough to recognize hypocrisy.
(Granted, _I_ can be pretty mean-spirited... but I don't pretend I'm _not_.)
