<P class=RTE>No need to call me Mr. Ramalingam unless you really want to. </P>
<P class=RTE>Regarding your correct name: Yes, you sign your name to your posts. I did not mean to say you don't, and I don't think I did that. However, your email address is different from your name; it doesn't contain your name at all. If you look at Dale's blog, which you do regularly, you would have read his post wherein he lists people as anonymous 'Intolerista' posters. Some, such as 'Art Deco' or 'Tbertruss' are long-time posters here, who are well-known as Wayne Fox and Ted Moffett, and who also sign their real names to their posts. I think any regular reader knows who they are, and that they're not attempting to be anonymous. I don't think you're trying to be anonymous any more than they are.</P>
<P class=RTE>Nevertheless, Dale has them on his list of anonymous posters. I made a small, teeny-tiny joke, suggesting you might suffer the same fate, because your address doesn't contain your name. (As it turns out, <A href="mailto:sunilramalingam@hotmail">sunilramalingam@hotmail</A> was available when I got my account; Mike Smith might not have been so fortunate.) I was poking fun of Dale, not you; I'm sorry I didn' t do a better job of it.<BR><BR>Your next point: I didn't condemn the contents of the posts you diescussed, and I don't pretend to have done so. I haven't condemned anyone who sent posts about Jack Vandeventer, and I haven't claimed to have done that. Therefore I will not point you to any of my posts since I have no passionate 'Jack defenses' to cite. I guess this means you can keep talking, even if you seem to have misunderstood my point, or perhaps I didn't make it clearly enough; I'll try again:</P>
<P class=RTE>I didn't write in to condemn 'Wil Hendricks' either, though I did offer an opinion on the post. I wrote in specifically to object to shutting down V2020, or to having a moderator, just because of that post. If someone wanted to shut down V2020 or to moderate it because Jack was attacked, I hope I would have posted the same objection then as I do now. </P>
<P class=RTE>After all, "Freedom is messy." Who said that recently? (That is also one of my small jokes, I do know the answer.)</P>
<DIV class=RTE>I hope this let (lets?) you know.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Cheers!</DIV>
