one: I find it interesting that you try to serve me a portion of blame. I have not posted to Eby in the better part of a year, except when he posts to me. When he does, he always posts the snippy little diggs that have little or no content, and more often than not are gross mischaracterizations of what I actually had to say. It seems like to me you would find fault with this 'pattern of behavior' WRT different people- but we've had our discussion on this topic and we couldn't find consensus before, doubt we will now.

two: Sure why the hell not. As of today, I simply won't respond to anything Mark has to say, period, even if he bombs in with some idiotic snide dig. However, please observe: It will not stop his behavior, nor will it modify his behavior. If it doesn't, then I will complain on a formal level.

Mark: In closing- your not liked around here because you strongly disagree with people, its that you are completely intransigent, refuse to take a pont, re-write your own words and others to suit you, are impossible to talk to, and you carry chips on your shoulder the size of NFL linebacker pads (and do so for years!). Lighten up, dude, before you get a stroke at your keyboard.

By all means, do your silly little attempt a pithy parting shot.
