Subject: RE: Obit: Philip Berrigan - Anti-war activist
Big Mick, you seem to think you are perfectly entitled to hijack obituary threads and make it about you and your personal vendetta against this phantom guest you are obsessed with "exposing". A reasonable person might ask why you feel so compelled to keep up the grudge match, especially in thread like this.

I don't know how others feel about you using obituary threads to get back at this anonymous guest. You did the same thing in the Wellstone threads, and people called you on it then too. Yet, here you are again, a couple weeks later, doing the same again.

You keep trying to justify your horrendously bad behavior in these obituary threads about the very recently deceased, by claiming the guest disrespected you and countless other long dead veterans--when, Big Mick? How many months ago was it that you had this angry exchange with this guest?

I'm sure your "eye for an eye" thinking is what makes you feel perfectly justified to go after anonymous guests in obituary threads. But hasn't this gone on quite long enough? Just how many times will you engage in this nastiness before you feel vindicated? How many times do need to go into obituary threads like this, and show how little respect you really have for the person who died, and your fellow Mudcat members who are expressing their thoughts about the person who died. Even your unctuous, smarmy prose can't cover the stench of what you are doing. So maybe it is time you quit lying to yourself, and admit you haven't been willing to stop this "stalk the phantom guest game" because you aren't man enough to let go of your anger.

It was YOUR choice to bring your vendetta into this thread. No one else's.

There is nothing to be "agreed to" as each of us is in control of our own behavior, and no one else's. You are the one who keeps injecting your personal vendetta into obituary threads. It isn't appropriate, no matter how angry you are with this person.
