1. think someone's reputation has been unjustly besmirched and I want to do what I can to correct that.

No G3K. it was justly besmirched, you may have your blinders on, as in ALS can do no wrong, but the rest of us know better. The man is a troll, pure and simple. His E-mail backs that up.

He created the problem in order to back out of the agreement, but made sure that we were still held to it. The Freepmail makes that PRETTY OBVIOUS to the rest of us.

2. I think the above shows quite well why private e-mails should never be posted and their use cannot be excused.

I will continue to disagree, ANY Freepmail that you send, becomes the Property of the recipient, if you do not trust the recipient to hold that E-mail confidential, then DON'T send it.

ALS sent me that E-mail to gloat, and I hit him upside the head with it, just as he tried to hit me upside the head with it.

No, sorry G3K, I will disagree with you on this forever.

We knew that he was going to do this, but to have him GLOAT was just too much, I had to send it out, there was NO other option.

He created the problem in order to back out of the agreement

No. The agreement was almost finalized when an evolutionist came up with the troll provision. It was an evolutionist who threatened to pull out of the agreement for many days until he had his way. ALS's questioning of the provision was that it was contrary to the purpose of the agreement - to stop the insults. Let's not re-write history.

And the freepmail was just part of the ongoing goading the two of you were engaging in. It does not prove anything because only one part of that conversation has been made public.

The purpose of the agreement was to end the 'blood sport' here. Let's make sure it ends by treating each other fairly.
