Needless to say, Barry's version of what happened is seriously misrepresentational. Among many other points, I did *not* know that his account blocked all email; and what I was referring to as "chickenshittery" was not the content of his email or his post, but the fact that my email to him was bounced with the message that *my* account specifically was being blocked. He also misrepresents how long I was "gone" from alt.m.t, both right after I left and longer term. I stayed out of all substantive discussions for well over a year and posted only in response to posts attacking me in absentia, which died down after awhile. And if anybody does read the posts, they'll note that it wasn't just Shemp I was upset with; they'll also most likely understand *why* I was upset. Barry obviously went back to review the posts in question, so he's well aware of what I've pointed out above.
