Please stop posting to me and about me.

Your constant complaints of stalking are beyond bizarre considering that when I created a thread on ihub, you felt it necessary to come to my thread and harass the people there. On top of this, you have initiated every communication between the two of us. And, you have posted tidbits of my personal information here and on SI. In the past 3 to 4 months I have ignored it when you have posted to me and about me except when you have posted tidbits of my personal information. In those cases, I have asked the administrations of SI and iHub to delete the messages.

On SI, I asked the administration to put a mutual gag order on both of us so as to avoid future conflicts and to deter you from posting my personal information. I have repeatedly asked Matt to do the same thing, though he declined. I also asked Matt to approach you (if he felt it was appropriate) to see if you wanted your posts on the drillbit thread deleted since the deletions of a number of the posts on that thread put an uneven presentation of events. This was in June. I pointed out to Matt that the purpose was to defuse the tension between you and I. When he declined this, I asked him to reinstate all of the posts on the drillbit thread. I have made this request several times since July.

I have also given Matt permission to go through my PMs to prove that I am not sending you any PMs. He has all of my IP addresses (as you no doubt do as well) so that he can see if I am sending messages from other aliases.

I don't want to talk to you, I don't want to talk about you. But I also don't want you posting messages saying that I am stalking you when all of the evidence points to you instigating every communication between us.

One of your good friends has been to my home. I have no doubt that you know exactly where I live. You have posted little hints about my phone number and physical location, you have posted my son's name out of the blue. I see these things as overtly threatening. I don't want to post to you, I don't want to post about you. And I don't want you posting to or about me. I can't stop you from waging a war in PMs about me so I am not going to worry about it. I have offered Matt to look at my PMs, as I said, to verify that the only time you have come up in PM conversations is when I was asking him to do things that were to help dissipate the hostility between us. I am not initiating any hostility toward you either publicly or privately and I am willing to prove it. Are you willing to do the same thing?

In our longstanding conflict, I have not always behaved in the most admirable way. There are parts of the "Who is Vendit" post that I regret writing. I apologize for the more blatant inappropriate references in that. But your hands are not clean in all of this either. I want this to end, I have wanted it to end for a long time and I have tried to do the things that affect that goal. This is well documented on the ihub private message database as well as being evidenced by my silence in the past 3-4 months every time you posted to or about me.

I did nothing to instigate this week's provocation as I did nothing to instigate any of the others in the past months. If you drop this, this will be the end, if you had dropped this months ago, it would have ended then.

Even if you do post to or about me, it is over from my side. I am going back to the mode where I do not respond, regardless of what you post. I don't want to keep this battle alive publicly or privately.
