Your whole post was so hilarious, that I missed this the first time through. I provided the link. I didn't come in half-cocked, I was pinged. I specifically asked him to keep me on the ping list, while asking him not to use it to pile-on fellow FReepers. I also told him how much I enjoy his articles. Why did he ping everyone, to send well wishes to the poster he quoted (as opposed to gang-piling)? Mendacious! Ok, I'm laughing all over again. (Go read the link again, if you even did the first time!)
Your mendacity resides in your conclusion that he did it gang-pile on somebody, thus dismissing his (voluminous) work on that quite heated thread. You were half-cocked in quibbling with him in public about how to use his own ping list and he was quite right in removing you from his ping list. Tonite you continue to mendaciously claim that he was "calling in the posse (who never showed up!)." He was mopping the floor with that poster--he didn't need any piling on.
You could have kept it all private thru freep mail--instead you come here tonite to limp-wristedly lie that he "evicted" you from his ping list because he's "gotten too big for his britches." That sound you hear is me crying you a river.
