Yes I did agree to do things differently here. Just as you did, but also just as
Vincent did.

It is against the charter to make personal attacks against members here, and I
know this as I have been warned in the past. It was also explained to me at that
time that Vincent has had his fair share of warnings from each moderator group.

How many warnings are needed to remove someone? How long do people have to put
up with the slanderous comments he spouts?

Vincent led the charge to disprove me as a real person, yet even had
conversations with me on a telephone. He out of everyone should have known that
I was a real person, yet jumped on the bandwagon to slander me yet again. Bruce
Moreland provided proof of who I was yet it was not good enough for Vincent.

I have spoken to Robert Hyatt via telephone, Vincent via telephone. The
difference was that Robert never got into the game of who I was. I think he knew
that I was real. I have never said anything against him, and he has never done
it to me. I think we have a mutual respect for one another as people. We might
never be friends in the classical sense, but I do regard him as one.

Respect must be earned, it is not granted unconditionally. With all the garbage
that Vincent says on this board, on ICC in the chat, and via previous emails, I
am surprised he has this amount of support.

Maybe it is only me that has a problem with his rantings. If that is the case I
will simply shut my mouth, turn the other cheek, and hope I do get to meet him
one day. For me the time to talk is done with him. Action is the next logical
step.

Peter.
