elmore, with all due respect (and I respect you far more than you know),I think I have a perfect right to defend myself against distortion, lies, and calumny. Panni flung the first accusations. She makes claims but offers no proof. As if her accusations were proof in themselves. Granted, it has become the culture we live in...the accusation becomes damning enough.
I think my case was dispassionately and reasonably stated. It was not rife with injured innocence and incensed umbrage as hers has been.
And then she thinks she's taking the high-road by saying she doesn't need to respond. She doesn't respond because she knows her letters to us alone would prove my point.
Michael, I would have loved for it to remained private. I did not come out blowing a string of inaccurate accusations. All this happened way back in mid-December. You didn't see me coming onto the post flinging this crap around then.
Oh, I also make a correction. I did mention Panni in one post today, but it certainly was in no way insulting.
If Panni wishes to blame all sorts of imagined injustices on me and mine, so be it. All I can do is tell the simple truth. And the simple truth is Panni is upset not because we "dislike" her, but rather because we are indifferent to her. And that somehow, inexplicably, gnaws her soul...if it didn't ,then how could anything we do or say make this an unsafe haven for her?
Believe it or not...It ain't going to greatly impact my life either way.
