I don't remember be cranky with Krivit. I was disgusted and
dumbfounded at his approach, which I explained in the same way I
explain similar feelings here on Vortex. The exaggeration he describes
is totally in Krivit's mind. I'm also at a loss as to how an
expression of a personal opinion about Krivit to Krivit can be
slanderous. Even if Krivit made the comments public, this would not be
slanderous because this publication would demonstrate that Krivit
wanted everyone to know the comment. I'm don't think Krivit
understands the concept of free speech and scientific debate.

however dramatic they may be, because they are slanderous.
Assuming this is true . . . Ed is not allowed to be cranky? Hey, at
least he keeps it private.
Coming from Mr. Kvetch Krivit, this is such chutzpah!
