He has refused to recant his insults to me . . . <br /><br />I'm not bothered by attacks on my ideas, and his insults may have been in good humor - but they are unduly harsh and uncalled for. It is his stubborn refusal to act like a mentsch that has exacerbated the situation.Mottelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00582397390892396507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20823360.post-2290821232076402010-07-13T10:27:30.132-07:002010-07-13T10:27:30.132-07:00I think he meant the personal stuff as a joke.I think he meant the personal stuff as a joke.ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04376537400767851942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20823360.post-75206491406691775132010-07-12T21:42:26.067-07:002010-07-12T21:42:26.067-07:00Listen, I have posted another idea on my blog, if ...Listen, I have posted another idea on my blog, if you so kind to look at it and tell me what you think.
