If you were attempting to characterize Mephi's relationship with Y-Not
as being cooperative and harmonious, then you are being disingenuous.
My comment on the subject was harmless and played on the irony of the
collaboration of the two characters, you warned me ahead of time to
expect it and I playfully commented. My intention was not to drag us
back into a war that was pointless and long ago. If you did not
understand that before, please rest assured that it is NOT my
intention to pull the scab off of old wounds.

I appreciate the humor of your effort, the irony, the juxtaposition,
etc. I love everything about your Stevie stories. The names of the
characters from the Fort add fun to the stories. Please don't stop
now.

I have enjoyed the discussion both here in The Fort and in the other
group. Part of the reason I have enjoyed it is because I don't see
certain people. The same goes here. Just because you like someone,
doesn't mean I have to. Killfiltering is an effective way to avoid
conflict. As an example, all I had to do was mention that I had KFed
your friend in the other group and suddenly there is a crisis and my
motivations are being questioned in THIS group. Is that really fair?
There are a lot of trolls that I KF. I am not interested in what they
have to say and they don't exist in my world. Just because I don't
have any interest in what certain posters have to say doesn't negate
the credibilty of discussions I'm involved in, it doesn't affect their
credibilty, nor does it affect my enjoyment of the discussions. This
certainly seemed to be the case for others who joined in the
discussion.

So what you object to is the fact that I mentioned that I killfiltered
him? Why didn't you say so? Mover, if I in any way offended you by
mentioning in any group that I'd killfiltered you, then I apologize
most sincerely and publicly.
Otherwise, Grant you must be losing respect for most of the people in
this group. There is a certain Mus.cled Kittens that is probably the
most KFed individual in all of usenet. He is nearly universally
ignored, although if your friend is communicating with him, then I
wouldn't know. ;)
I hope this clears things up. I was stating a fact and did not intend
to insult anyone. I would have thought it was clear to M that I wasn't
reading him because I never mention or respond to him. He has every
right to be here and I have every right to ignore him. If that makes
me a manipulative liar or disrespectful, then that's just the way it's
going to have to be.
Sincerely and affectionately,
Doc
