I did no such thing. If you're going to claim quotations, at least get them correct. The ones you supplied are false, although I was able to find the relevant thread.

That thread was a gross invasion of my privacy. I said it was none of *his* business then, and it remains none of *your* business now.

> Interesting that you would speak of manipulation.

Manipulating the truth is the least acceptable to me.

I have only ever made (approximately) three posts not under my own name (in 2001?), and I felt so bad about it, I outed myself, even though I'd already stopped, and nobody knew. What then happened, though, was that all sorts of posts were attributed to me that I did not make. Apart from those three posts, I have only posted under my own name (three variants, on different servers) for 16 years, and *that* you can Google.

> This deflected the situation for a while.

Oh, really? It seems to have quite a life.

> And, this I've noticed seems to be a theme surrounding you, when a woman at same board asked you repeatedly to not post to her, and finally placed a "killfile" on your posts, you borrowed another name in order to continue your arguments.

Like I was just saying..... I have always encouraged people to killfile me, if that's what would make *them* feel better. To facilitate that, I only ever used my own name, save for three (+/-) posts, ever.

This woman you speak of has posted under dozens and dozens of aliases, and continues to make unsubstantiated allegations against people on various groups. Just look at a.s.d.m., and find posts with the word kook in them.

> On Babble I've noticed you simply "forget" that there have been do not post requests made to you by women.

I wasn't posting to that other party. I was posting a contrasting declarative sentence, and my opinion of the contrast, to further that position which I had already expressed. I was speaking only to the audience at large.

What amazes me is that someone can direct the subject line of a post to me, and make an obvious personal inference, i.e. "what's that got to do with you? and i thought i was narcisistic!", without anybody making hay of it. That wasn't to me, right? Whereas, in a post with no subject line direction, I make a declarative statement about a specific (though implied) third party (Jai), and add an opinion, and somehow I'm posting to a second party?

The FAQ clearly states: "Posting to someone means directing either the subject line or the body of a post to them. Replying to a post by someone isn't necessarily posting to them." I retained a quoted portion of text simply to make the contrast between the differing syntax clear. If the issue is in making use of the "include above post" button, then the FAQ should also make mention of it. If a general declarative statement can be taken as being posted to a particular person, then I fear for my safety here.
