I'm sure you'd like to think my thorough disbelief of your "quote" is due to convenience, Russell, because that would absolve you of responsibility. The truth is I refuse to believe because you have yet to show me this "quote" exists outside the context of your own mind. "*Some* friend heard *some* quote at *some* discussion at *some* seminar?" These are the "facts" you refer to??? Give me a break! This sounds more like a Monty Python sketch transcript than a believable reference. I'm waiting for the part where you say "wink, wink, nudge, nudge... know what I mean?"

It's unfortunate I have to be the first one in your life to inform you that this type of "quote" doesn't cut it... not in the real world, not in cyberspace. Especially when it's used to publicly slander someone. And shamefully cloaking your behavior in the word "criticism" doesn't change your reponsibility.

>The quotes were valid - you just conveniently choose not to believe them. That's your perogative, but it doesn't change the facts. I never became hysterical - that's just something you yourself made up. And I have continued to be polite, however I have leveled criticism at Kevin and don't intend to withdraw it.
