JVP didn't like being ignored via twit filter. He would send private messages via email. Until Craig mentioned it I had forgotten about them because years have gone by since then. But at the time they were extremely upsetting to me. Even my husband remembers JVP after all these years because of how intensely riled up I would get.

Years ago when this site was full of angry arguments, I decided to stay away even though the info was good. Too much baggage went with it. Now that things have calmed down so much, I've started to finally feel like I could get involved.

I would hate to see JVP come back. Steven Black and the others were not anywhere near as caustic as he was. JVP was in a league of his own... and not in a good way.
