Where did he "admit to being wrong"? I must have missed that.
I congratulate you on the success of your poison pen campaign. You must be very proud.

Yes, I'm sure that your expression that this is so veddy veddy "strange" is every bit as honest, sincere and forthright as your pose of pure, disinterested, high-minded concern about "misogyny in academia."
Nobody has ever mastered the "sincerity technique" like you have.
[SNIP]
In other words, you are relying upon gossip.

Besides, the "C" word doesn't match the description of a personal attack. It's vulgar and insulting, certainly; but it doesn't rise to the level of anything as concrete as a personal attack.
[SNIP]
It's a disgraceful dog-pile that reflects far more badly upon you than it does upon its target.
[SNIP]
Like the other "c" word, which is immensely popular around here, and which I fully expect to see you use, as you devolve towards bog-standard anti-Mormonism, it is merely the verbal equivalent of growling.
[SNIP]
I think the highlighted word should be correctly spelled "useful." Rollo Tomassi, hardly an ally of Will, directly commented on the post before it was edited, and did not see the "c" word therein. But that doesn't suit your vendetta, does it?
[SNIP]
But I will concede that this is not merely a dog-pile by anti-Mormons. It is a dog-pile by anti-Mormons and a few of their "useful idiots."

Sorry. Not seeing it. He continues to assume the worst of the worst out of anyone who disagrees with him.

Actually you were a kinder and more gentle poster in the past. What has happened to you in the meantime is a mystery. Your posts are now bitter, sassy, and spiteful and full of spite. Something happened to you along the way.
