???  Sir, several times in this forum contents are 'not in line' and yet no word is 
mentioned about those instances.  Why are you being this aggressive and picking on me, 
personally?

>  List members should be smart enough to figure out when they've crossed the line

And I haven't 'crossed that line', sir, in any way, shape or form.  The burden of 
proof that that happened is on you, sir.  Instead of accusing me of having done 
something wrong, why don't you settle this matter by showing me what I've done wrong, 
please?  And (evidently) don't forget to quote the "book of rules" to substantiate 
your linching me in public like this.

> and should either have stopped the discussion or taken it off the USMA list,

Again, where is the *discussion*, sir?  Since when the sharing of information is 
"discussion"?  Since when answering questions *of order* is "discussion"?  Again, I 
must ask, why are you being this arbitrary?

For your info, sir, when there HAS been *discussion* on the subject that's precisely 
what I did!  If you don't believe me, ask Brij, for instance, or a couple of other 
individuals I remember having mentioned to them I was responding privately to them!

Alas, I have been doing precisely that, I have been quite careful about that and yet 
this is what I get?...  :-(

>Quit arguing about it and just stop, or go elsewhere.

?  'Quit arguing'?  How can I?  You have accused me of doing something wrong AND in 
public!  So... I have **every right in the book** to defend myself, regardless of book 
rules'!  This is a universal right that every free individual has in a free society, 
including here.

'and stop it', stop what?  Defending myself?  If I've done wrong, fine, I'll bite the 
bullet, but if I haven't, again I repeat I must defend myself and hold my clean 
reputation and not allow it to be tarnished and humiliated like this!

Please, be sensible and judge things fairly and unbiasedly, not according to 
appearances, but to *facts*.  Please!  Is that too much to ask?  Honestly?

'go elsewhere', is this a threat, sir?

>  How many ways do I have to say that?

Are you hinting at expelling me from this forum or something?  If you are, on what 
grounds?  I have done nothing wrong, sir!  Until you prove me wrong that's the 
position I have to take, i.e. to defend myself.  Therefore, I can't "quit arguing" 
until I clear this.
