No because statements made in this group have an effect upon you in the minds of the readers of CCC, and simply writing to Moderators will not change that view unless, they write some formal censure in the group. However, Bob Hyatt apparently has these people in his back pocket, I would have never thought this until today. I have nothing else to believe,when a man blatantly lies and does not dispute that he has lied, and CCC moderators defend the person who is lying. > >I found that mild attempts at humor can be interpretted as a personal attack. >Email and electronic bulletin boards are an imperfect form of communication, >because we lose the ability to get the intonation and expression of the other >person. As a result people make assumptions about the other person's intent >that might not be valid. You are 100% correct on this and that is very very true. In this case there however is no misinterpretation, Bob Hyatt is Hostile towards me,and i have no love for him either, that's why we agreed to leave each other alone. Something that he has not been able to do, not that it's surprising to me that's his character. > >The responses that you have given to whatever mild slights might have existed >have been much larger offenses.

As far as I can tell, nobody has been engaging in such name calling >toward you, and even if they were, it was a mild jab of humor. It was not humor, and you can ask Bob Hyatt himself and he will indeed concur. To say someone os Lyong when they have acted contrary to their word is 100% accurate especially, when it's of the nature of the posts that Hyatt has written > >My suggestion is to have a little thicker skin.

If you have been >offended then say so, but then drop it. It has nothing to do with thick skin, it has to do with the right to be free of Harrassment. In Legal terms, if you tell someone on more than two occasions to cease communication with you, that fullfills that statute of Harrassment. Legally on this basis, i could have Bob Hyatt served with a protection order. Because he has continued this harassment after being told to desist. Yes the statute does indeed include electronic comunicae. You act like i'm asking for something big, i'm asking simply that bob hyatt leave me alone. > Shaun
