Judy if it's not, as you say below, you with whom I need to make it right, then why have you spent the last almost 8 months badgering me about it?! I'm actually starting to think that you don't want me and Robin to reconcile. In fact you said something to that effect just recently to another poster.
As for the records, if you want something expunged from them, then I guess you need to speak to Rick and or Alex about it. But again, I actually don't think that's what you really want either. No, I think what you really want is an excuse to keep attacking me for some seriously neurotic reason that exists only in the depths of your neglected psyche. I'm guessing that Robin has not asked you to be his spokesperson in this matter. In that case, I have nothing further to say to you about it, Ms. Becoming More Sanctimonious Every Nanosecond! ________________________________ From: authfriend <authfri...@yahoo.com> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2013 8:37 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: to azgrey was what a Sunday on FFL --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "feste37" <feste37@...> wrote: > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "authfriend" <authfriend@> wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "feste37" <feste37@> wrote: > > > > > > You are sounding like a pompous, finger-wagging ass, authfriend. > > > > (Says feste pompously, wagging his finger.

Because it was a terrible, awful thing for her to say, a *malevolent* thing for her to say, something that was intended to do serious damage to a person who had done and was continuing to do his damndest to rectify the situation. It was based on Share's misunderstanding of something entirely innocuous that he had said. She needs to retract it and apologize to him, for the sake of her own soul if nothing else. > You talk all the time about honesty and truth, but such > things are not always as black and white as you would like > us to believe.

Generally speaking, all this is true, but not always. I do not believe that was the case here, for a number of reasons that I've already explained *and documented* a number of times that your apologia cannot account for. I don't think Share can account for them either, and I strongly suspect that's why she has refused to provide a straightforward explanation--because if it were honest, it would reflect very badly on her, and perhaps even worse on some others. > Share has tried in her own way to make it right with you, > so why not take a step or two toward her? It isn't me she needs to make it right with. And the steps she has taken have been designed to get me off her back without revealing the real story. She has also refused to retract the accusation she made against Robin. She says only that she isn't making that accusation *now*--but the original accusation is still on the record. It needs to be explicitly taken *off* the record; it didn't even come close to being true in the first place. This wasn't just a minor misstep, feste. This was scandalous and entirely indefensible. I would suggest you read over my posts to Share about it and her responses, because I don't think you've retained the crucial details from when you read them the first time (assuming you did).
