- I _always_ said it presented as a joke. In typical TSAKC smear-fashion, Dean
- is trying to attribute to me a change in position I never actually made.

- Justify? Perhaps not the best choice of term. I did spend weeks EXPLAINING
- why I made the mistake I did. During that same time interval, I also did my
- best to try and put out of its misery a ton of puffed-up instant-self-
- righteous bullshit, and uncontrollable, mindless flaming, such as the
- infamous multiple streams of obscenities issuing from the Wicked Witch of the
- North, aka Linda Birmingham. I was engaged in some serious t.a pollution
- control, with certain morons insisting on escalating the muck-throwing with
- inappropriate crossposts OUT of alt.flame into t.a. It was a goddamned circus
- of idiocy, malice, and TSAKC vendetta-indulgence. Only my overriding sense of
- moral enabled me to choke back my disgust long enough to post the apology I
- did.
-
- Note, however, that no apology or admission of wrongdoing EVER came forth
- from those who inflicted this flamewar on talk.abortion. My conscience is
- clear. Can the guilty parties in TSAKC say the same?
-
- >and it wasn't until much later that he claimed it was a joke.
-
- I claimed it was presented as a joke from the very beginning. Stop being
- such a lying little fuck, Kaflowitz.
