<Please, Shane. Talk about total distortion. The woman has hated my guts and conducted campaigns against me and my zines for years. >

Then I repeat: Why did you ask what she has to do with a thread on control-freaks in fandom?

<I was hardly trying to "impress" anyone with the fact that I know who she is and I think you know that. >

Oh? Ever heard the saying "You can judge a person by the quality of their enemies?" And you don't get much bigger than the Supreme Commander.

<And bringing up "posts in my in-box" is the oldest, stupidest internet game in the book. Yeah! Let's fight now over who's gotten the most PRIVATE email telling them how *right* they are.>

Actually, I was referring to the fact that nobody on the Lyst has bothered to respond to your post. Apart from myself, of course, but then I do have a problem with people jumping to hasty conclusions based on half-read e-mails.

<You have anything further to say to me, please say it privately.>

I'll take it off the Lyst when you do.

< Not only is it boring for list members to have to read a pissing match when it's down to only two or three people, but you keep sending me the messages privately ANYWAY.>

I know I do. I'm just trying, futilely it seems, to get you to read them.

Shane
