On the subject of this other slander (boldface lie) against me by Joe Offer...

And then when the trolls attack, they squeal like a stuck pig. Jack does it, CarolC does it, Ron Davies does it, and so does dianavan - and many others.

I have only ever requested TWO attacks against me be deleted (in five years of posting to the Mudcat). I did so after Joe announced his policy of 100 percent review of "Martin Gibson's" posts. On both occassions, I did it for one reason, and one reason only... to find out if the 100 percent review was going to appy to "Martin's" personal attacks against me.

Joe Offer, in posting this accusation to the open forum has breached an important bit of Mudcat ettiquette, because in doing so, he has discussed the contents of Personal Messages and private e-mails in the open forum (and he gave the names of the people whose messages he was discussing). The only way to refute his accusations is to post the exact contents of one of the PMs I sent him in order to request deletion of a personal attack. This is the kind of language Joe has described as "squeal(ing) like a stuck pig"...

This is the first of the two, sent on 19 Apr 2005 01:32 PM:

Hi Joe,

I respectfully request that this post of Martin Gibson's be deleted. Or at least the parts of it that refer to me...

Here's a link to that message, #1465466 (click). I can't figure out how it insults anybody.
And the complaints I've heard in this thread about my failure to delete that message, sure sound to me like the squeal of a stuck pig.

Later....

Well, it appears that the crash did change the message numbers, so it's possible that message #146566 originally referred to a message from Martin Gibson. Whatever the case, it's unlikely that I would have any reason to refuse to delete a message if it was indeed offensive. I deleted dozens of Martin's messages. Why would I refuse or intentionally neglect to delete that one in particular? I have to say that I don't remember Carol's request at all.
