I don't like to name names if people cannot defend themselves, which is the second clue in return for your own cryptic effort involving contrary mary, whoever she be which is your third clue. Yeah, pretty obvious but no need to holler it out, I'm not naming names. Except for the name Marcia mentioned: he had nothing whatsoever to do with it if memory serves me.
If it's the slugfest that occurred somewhere around 2003-2004 (and referred to a sequence of events a few years before that), I pretty much know most of the story. It doesn't paint either party in a good light, but I also consider it to be nearly trivial to this discussion. Sorry.
Beyond that, see my next reply to Tamar.
