You seem to believe that people who live in Cuba and the West Indies and Florida have done something wrong.
Kishkumen wrote:I doubt you'll think much of my recollection since it involves you arguably being at fault in some way.
One of your principal complaints against me appears to be that I don't share your moral disdain for me. That, it seems, is a very grievous fault.
Kishkumen wrote:Yes, I hound Simon. Simon begs for it. His posts are generally atrocious and risible.
You evidently have little or no problem with Joey's and Joseph's and the like.
Kishkumen wrote:your claim that I never fail to criticize you for contradicting Scratch is flatly false.
If you missed a few times, it has been very few.
Kishkumen wrote:Yeah, you only posted about his threads on the other board. Sure you didn't feed the beast.
I responded to him a few times. Mostly I didn't.
When he makes seemingly factual allegations against me that are false and potentially damaging, I sometimes respond.
I don't see that as a fault. To allow his pseudo-factual claims against me to live forever on the Web unchallenged doesn't strike me as morally obligatory in any way.

I doubt that it will succeed with the vocal participants here. I'm not really concerned about them, though. It's more important to me that lurkers understand, when Scratch levels his accusations against me of unethical behavior, viciousness, and the like, that he lacks even minimal credibility.
Your amusement at his antics and your insulting dismissals of my responses won't really affect things very much. Fair-minded readers will still see what's going on. The other kind of readers is beyond help.
Kishkumen wrote:You keep fighting the good fight. It is certainly entertaining to watch. Maybe on breaks from watching you and Scratch I can watch equally momentous reruns of Judge Judy.
You can afford to be complacent, I suppose. It's not your public reputation that's been under anonymous public attack here for five solid years.
Kishkumen wrote:I would have said that you are too melodramatic not to pass up using it.
It's painlessly easy to be smugly superior when nobody's slandering you.
Kishkumen wrote:The longer you talk about it, the less persuaded I become that you dislike it.
As I've already noted, you invariably reserve your worst criticism for me when I object to it.
