Hello. I'd like to ask a favor. I'd like to ask you to not respond to my posts. Obviously that can't be enforced, it would simply be a matter of decency on your part. In return, I won't respond to yours. I promise I won't even read yours. Starting now.

On the last thread in which we both participated you passed the bounds of conduct which mark tolerable discourse, and on the HZ those bounds are a ways out there and elastic. Even so, you managed. Most people, myself included, will go a long way to avoid the ugliness you embody. It's painful to watch a human being that unhappy, even if it is for reasons they themselves foster. I have to admit that even Geraldo Rivera has his fans, though, so there is a pool of admirers for you out there.

The crux of that thread was where you "apologized". Said "apoloty" consisted of admitting several times that you, yourself, deserved to have done a better of being crude, prejudiced and ignorant. You owed it to yourself. I liked that. Rarely is an attitude, a life, so totally described in so few words.

I'm thanking you in advance for whatever decency you are able to muster in this regard. Adios.
