The irony to me is that I tirelessly asked for his reinstatement to the UT when he was banned. And what did I get? When I said something admittedly rude to Kevin after being provoked by him he wanted me banned. Michel asked him directly and he said yes, kick him out. Nice guy.


Mike, if you wonder what Marcia meant by the "kick me" message, look no further than this. I can't believe we're going over the history of this AGAIN....

You broke a specific rule - there was zero question. (By contrast, no reason was ever given at the time for when I was kicked off).

I didn't approach Michel at all...he emailed me and asked my opinion. I did not want a full ban for you, but I thought you should be suspended for a period of time -if nothing else, for you to cool off and sober up. If a CNN reporter directed an f-bomb at someone, you better believe they'd be suspended. At the time this happened, you left me a voice message that was so incoherent that there was little doubt you were on the sauce. You also sent a couple of mildly profane emails to me in anger.

Every person I've spoken with - even those who don't care much for me - thought the two months was a good idea. If you are still moaning about this, A YEAR LATER, then I go back to Marcia's statement that you create many of your own problems.
