There's no way for you to put spin on this and make it appear any different than it is.

First, I'll reply about the mechanical mass/suspension loading issue that you keep saying I'm "evading." I've responded to you several times, with two of the more succinct explainations, here and here . This isn't about my being "evasive." It's about you trying to say that I am, which is one of your manipulative tactics. I have not avoided the issue at all and , in fact, it was my choice to enter into the conversation and challenge your oversimplifications.

I just don't keep repeating myself as you have been. What I have to say has already been said.

Second, I'll say a few more things about your false claims of "threatening letters."

You and John Hancock are the guilty ones here. You both had repeatedly insulted me, accusing me of spoofing IP's and writing under an alias, even when the administrator of the forum told you he had proof in the system logs that this wasn't the case. Still, you and John continued to attack me, even when I did not participate in the conversation at all.

Your comments had begun to take the tone of harassment and "cyber-stalking," which is why I wrote you the letter asking you to refrain . Shortly thereafter, I received a letter from John, which I forwarded to you. I've included a copy of his letter, and of my reply to him below.

You then proceeded to pretend as though you had been a victim of lawsuit threats , hoping to sway public opinion and gain sympathy. You made misleading comments intending to make yourself look like the faultless victim of intimidation and frivolous litigation. And it did appear to have an impact at that time, because you got a lot of "support."

You can't claim to have misunderstood the issue; The only reasonable explaination is that you wanted to stage a scene and to manipulate public opinion. If you honestly felt you had been threatened with libel suit, you would never have come here and acted this way. And it's not the first time you've acted like this. From what I've seen from you, it's your normal mode of behavior.

Anyway, below you'll find a copy of the letter that Hancock sent, followed by my response. It is easy to see that it is not addressed to you, and I am certain that neither you nor your counsel or co-workers misunderstood this fact. You simply wanted to fabricate a story to manipulate public opinion.

This is my reply to John later that same day, which was copied to you, Rod Morris, Mike Baker and Bill Martinelli. Several other people have seen these letters as well, and not a single person has misunderstood the issues or confused the recipients.
