Have you formally withdrawn from the agreement? I think you should make it official.

Have you? If you had any honor you would not have even signed it. But then, if you had any honor you would not be going around posting private correspondence either.

All right. I've seen enough.

Under the agreement, if we the complying posters observe a poster causing a problem on a thread, we are obligated under the agreement to first politely ask that the poster come into compliance using words such as the following:
"Hey gore3000, that post of yours (546) was a bit provocative. Under our agreement, the actions of provocateurs, trolls, spammers, and disruptors are prohibited, as is the use of obscene or belittling words to describe another poster or his beliefs. I understand that you're momentarily swept up in the debate, but please restrain yourself."
So you've had your polite warning, gore3000. Please remember this. And also remember:

If the non-complying poster (whether the poster has signed the agreement or not) continues to provoke, troll, spam or disrupt then warnings will be posted to others on the threads, to avoid posting to non-complying poster (or a specific non-complying poster) since it could lead to flame wars, etc.

If the conduct continues, any of the otherwise complying posters may engage the non-complying posting with harsh language otherwise prohibited by the agreement. However, there is never any obligation on a complying poster at any time to refrain from pressing abuse on a non-complying poster.

gore3000, since you have signed the agreement, I am now notifying you that your post (546) is inflammatory per se, and thus in violation of our agreement under the Language Clause not to use belittling words, and under the Disclosure clause, providing: "We will not bring an accusation against another poster or his beliefs without also bringing, on the same post, the evidence for that accusation."

[95% of this language is from prior posts by Alamo-Girl. I've changed a few words to fit the occasion.]
