I posted verbatim from the Vision 20/20 archives.
For the right mind post please see:

As you can see pretty much the exact same post with a minor edit to remove your profanity along with a little highly germane editorial comment. Please note the comments made by Scott (remember him? he was involved on your side of the discussion) toward the end. Pretty much puts the lie to your version of what transpired.
Now, as to "standards of proof" hows about you cowboy up and provide a little for your rather fantastic version of events. If you can't, say so and let this sordid matter die. I've heard you teach logic, here's your opportunity to finally display some.

Was this the RightMind post? I don't think so!
I love how when it is something you question the standards of proof go up and when it's something you believe they go down.
But what do I know about standards of proof? I just teach logic!

Context and a demand for truth. Nothing more. You can bs the others but don't forget that I was there.

I think that I treat you pretty much the same as anyone else I strongly disagree with. Glancing through the archives I see no major difference between my responses to you and say for instance my replies to Mr. Schou or Mr. Fox. The only difference in the exchanges that I can see is that they don't immediately become emotionally invested in the argument and start flailing. Keeping a cool head in the heat of the moment does not appear to be a component of your constitutional make up.
Now a question for you. Why did you build such a ridiculous narrative up around your little decent into "violent rhetoric?"

You don't have any inclination ... to do what you just did!?! I wish you would engage and please explain why you consistently treat me the way you do, tell us all what I've done to deserve it.

I haven't the inclination to engage in a did too/did not discussion with Mr. Campbell on this topic. I will say to him that he has my complete permission to release any and all private e-mail pertaining to this or any other topic. I also invite anyone who cares to take a stroll back through the vision 20/20 archives to 18 May 2006 and read under the subject heading "thin skinned." http://mailman.fsr.com/pipermail/vision2020/2006-May/029780.html I think you will find events significantly different from those described. The most glaring discrepancies being:
>No private e-mail detailing phobias
> No threats from me regarding flyers (or anything else)
>No selective release of information to Dale Courtney or any other community members
>Nothing out of context as I reprinted the post exactly as I received it
