"Kelley I want to send this to the list. But given the very criticial nature of my comments, I want to send it to you first. Why didn't you ever send my reply to you to the list? Yours, Rakesh"
utterly absurd that rakesh has now got people coming to his defense that haven't bothered to take the time out to read anything. i never told rakesh to unsub. i told him he should stop being a child, stay subbed and filter my posts. just as katha advised yoshie not too long ago.
i have every right to defend myself against rakesh's unsubstantiated claims, his purposeful and willful misreading and mischaracterization as angela has to do when she's battling it out with yoshie. and i take great offense at people sitting around making judgments here without considering the context.
i have bent over backward to be reasonable and civil to rakesh despite the things he said to me months ago and again in octboer. as i pointed out to katha and doug, i deserve some credit for that in the face of this ridiculous assertions. rakesh's complaint that i violated his privacy is absurd on two counts. first he complained that i hadn't replied to that post ON LIST last week. i replied then that i hadn't seen it. and then he complained this time. now you read the above and you ask tell if rakesh was not perfectly willing to send it to the list, as long as i didn't mind.
the ball was in my court and i hit it. and then you read the content of that post. he did not speak to me personally, he was speaking about me in the third person as if addressing some imagined lbo audience. the post was intended for lbo.
i continue to be amazed. i may make typos but i'm pretty clear about what i'm saying and not that hard to understand. i do hope someone can please show me how i am at fault in any of this nonsense. i was attacked. i was flamed. there was no substantive argument in anything said about me. why on earth should i be civil after being civil for well over a month?
