I am very curious about an historical event in which Joe Dees
was the alleged victim of an email campaign. It has become
unclear whether there was a "campaign" at all, or whether it
was directed at his own personal email address (or a list to
which he merely was subscribed), or to what degree people went
in order to suppress dissenting views.
(I myself would prefer that Mr. Joe Dees tell his story first,
if he is so inclined, in non-partisan objective language.)
And, if I'm not being insulting towards anyone with these
requests (for which I do apologize), I would be very happy
if all accounts were free of political partisan content,
i.e., that no observer would be capable of determining
who was liberal or who was conservative, or whatever.
Needless to say, insulting terms like "droogies" or whatever,
should be omitted when it's just the facts that should be
foremost first.
Thanks everyone,
Lee Corbin
