I object to you labeling yourself an 'insider' in a multinational internet
discussion group. I don't know who you are, or what your relationaship is to
Lugnet (except as a poster) to Scott or Larry or to any other group. There are
many groups here, and I think there is a particular problem with the cliquiness
running through this neighborhood. You may very well have inside information
about many of the issues here, but this was a public conversation. I can only
be held responsible for the public part.

I could see this, but I have seen these disputes come and go over the past many
months, and wanted to add my opinion to the most germaine of them.

I didn't see this. Honestly, I don't know what resolution there was except
silence.

You have really no knowledge of my participation. I certainly participate in
lugnet. I send money to support the cause. I post occasionally, when I have
something to say, and finally I read lugnet posts almost every day. So I am
fairly insulted by being considered someone who barges in. I don't expect you
to value my opinion as a friend, but at least respect that not everyone who adds
a comment outside of his/her usual threads is an outsider!

So, I understand that you were just describing your feelings at the time, and I
respect that. But I don't want to leave it unanswered.
