   Is this because you got called out by the SAA? You have to show everyone
that you're on the right side now? You're on the team that calls people
they disagree with bigots and racists? How sad.

   There was nothing bigoted or racist about my drafts. It was satire. It
just wasn't very good satire.

   And what's this "anonymous drafts that you didn't know of or write but
are now being associated with." I actually said, in an email to you (!!!),
that I wrote them. Now you're trying to make some mystery about their
origin or imply that I'm setting myself apart from them? What the hell?

   I also didn't say I was moral, polite, or educated. You've got it
exactly backwards.

   Not really sure why you're constructing this fiction....

   Also, before you start commenting on how I spent my Easter weekend, maybe
spend some time reflecting on what you did (get called out for by the SAA
for "unprofessional commentary"). Sort of like the pot calling the kettle
a utensil of color.

   Well no apology was offered. You're refusing to accept an offer of
nothing. Bully for you.

   Dan.
