You are absolutely right about this being about behavior, Big Mick. But it is about the behavior of Joe and the clones, not mine. By threatening to "out" me by publishing my private information publicly in the forum, you have proven what many already suspect anyway. That Joe and the clones are grossly abusing their power by passing out private information about certain posters they don't like to a privleged few Mudcat members, while insisting they aren't doing any such thing.

That is YOUR big lie.

If you are willing to publish my private information in the forum, e, chances are very high you will do it to anyone you don't like. Therein lies the problem--that slippery slope I keep talking about. Vengeance won't win this one for Joe and the clones, because it never can. Which is why Joe and the current clones likely need to step aside. It is clear they are unbalanced, reactionary, and blinded by their desire for vengeance. They've started to target other posters who annoy them, as a smokescreeen. To try and divert attention away from what their real agenda is here. Which just so happens to be petty and personal--PEL, political threads, and members and guests they personally dislike.

They've proved they will go to almost any length to "get to" me. So what lengths do you suppose Joe and the clones will go to to "get to" the rest of you they don't like?

Go ahead and "make an example of me", Big Mick. Go right ahead and publish all the private information you've got to "prove" my identity. The only fraud you will be exposing is your own. You will then have provided proof to everyone here, that you are all using private information of posters you have targeted, and handing it around the Mudcat inner circle. And that if anyone steps out of line, disagrees with you, pisses you off, that they'll be next.

No single poster, whether member or guest, has the power to destroy this forum. Only Max, Joe, Jeff and the clones have that power. Threatening to expose private information about ANY poster to the forum is a gross abuse of power. But the fact that Joe and the clones are this tempted to do it, should be setting off peoples' alarm bells.
