Thank you very much for this. Although it might seem a minor thing from
your point of view, it resolves my one and only complaint.
This "very long list of statements" were all facts brought up by you
that I had never mentioned before. This is what made it seem very close
to slander to me. I felt that by answering questions I never asked,
responding to points I never made, and refuting ideas I never expressed,
you were making it seem that this "very long list of statements" were my
statements instead of yours. I actually received private e-mail
expressing concern about these implied positions that I do not actually
hold.
As long as everyone is clear on this, that these were all your
statements and not mine, then this disagreement is over. This falls
within my 48 hour deadline and resolves my objections completely. There
will be no slander complaint.
I apologize to John and the entire group for any hard feelings this
might have caused. Although it might have seemed minor to some people,
I have my own reasons for having to keep the archives accurate when they
might seem to misrepresent my positions on specific issues. Earlier
this year I received a letter that claimed that potential monetary
funding for ExI and/or myself was withdrawn due misleading negativity
found in the ExI archives. I don't know whether this was really true or
just an excuse to withhold funds, but I have become extremely sensitive
about keeping the records accurate now.
