I made no representation of your objections in the post you're responding to. And you've already acknowledged that my representation of your objections in an earlier post was correct. So who is knowingly engaging in misrepresentation here? > and is creating a false impression ment to mislead the > readers into drawing an erroneous conclusion concerning > my POV and my stated postition and this was not an > innocent error, but is a malicious attempt to obfuscate > the truth and perpetrate a falsehood I stand by what I said. You found out it was Barry, and you backed off fast. Your initial outrage was based on a misinterpretation of what Dan had said, reading into it stuff that wasn't there and then taking it in the worst possible light, accusing him of misrepresentation because what had actually happened turned out not to confirm your misinterpretation. His description was accurate, just an oversimplification of a complicated situation created by Barry (who had taken Dan's accidental email in the worst possible light and then attempted viciously to humiliate him for an innocent mistake). But even granting, for the sake of argument, that you had good reason to back off your initial outrage when you found out the situation was not what you had at first imagined on the basis of Dan's remark, you were unwilling to criticize Barry with regard to what had actually gone down once you had read the original posts. I submit that if it hadn't been Barry who had pulled that inexcusable stunt with Dan, you wouldn't have been so quick to brush it off. That's what I meant by "backed off fast." And speaking of misrepresentation: > As if my non particiapation the first time around was not > enough of a message that I didn't care about the hilarity > that ensued in the clusterfuck misadventures of people who > hate each other You weren't here the first time around. You were absent from the group from before Thanksgiving till the end of March. The Barry-debacle took place in January. That's why you demanded to know who the perp was. You'd never seen the original episode and had no idea what Dan was talking about.
