kat ... you are right and so is Escamillo. I wrote the retraction regarding the events of the past three weeks because this person did contact me and I don't want to blame someone for something they didn't do.

I've always tried to be direct and veiled inferences are not my style, but I have my reasons, and they aren't very good nor would they make much sense to anyone but me. I won't "out" this person in the forum for personal reasons ... and because I fear ostracism by a good portion of mudcatters and I don't have the emotional stamina for that.

I stand by everything I said in my first post, with the exception of recent flamings.

Please don't respond to me in this post because I'm not going to say anything further. The person in question is lurking and I would prefer any more communications not be public. If you wish to PM me, I will respond.

This is a very difficult time for me ... please understand and have some patience.
