<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Please point out if you see me jumping to

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>His comment at the last link above
says:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><EM>"It's interesting to note that Stephen Korsman
blog does not allow people to respond. He has banned comments or

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>That doesn't sound like technical
difficulties. It's a broad statement. Which I did misinterpret, but
I don't think it's the same as below:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>On my blog it becomes:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><EM>"As far comments being blocked, there are some
posts that you are not allowing comments, I didn't say you blocked me
personally."</EM></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Since I worked out how to activate comments, there
are very few where comments are closed; most are because I didn't actively set
the comments on because I didn't think it was important enough to comment - I
have few commentators; the rest I either forgot to set the comments on, or was
having trouble with comments. He may be jumping to conclusions, but I
think it's clear enough that he's not willing to give me the benefit of the
doubt on much.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Quite frankly, I don't want his sort of
contribution. Maybe that sounds unfair, but I must draw the line
somewhere. Civilised dialogue is fine, pontificating with no intent to
give the other person a chance is not that.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is starting to leave me feeling a bit
sick. It can only do me good - extra publicity, and a solid explanation
with good evidence of his ... mischief?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It's just hard to imagine what goes on inside the
mind of someone like that. Is he the type that puts up billboards saying
the Pope is the antichrist? Why is he so extreme without any apparent
interest in actually discussing issues? Why the questions designed to be
unanswerable?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>God bless,</FONT></DIV>

<BR>> I have a screen capture and a saved version of the<BR>> original
blog post.<BR>> <BR>> And he's said that I don't allow comments on
my<BR>> blog, and also that I said that I am unable to<BR>> answer his

<BR>> So far he's refused to link to my blog from his<BR>> blog, which
is about me and my blog.<BR>> <BR>> Do I answer according to his rules,
or just provide<BR>> an answer? If I provide an answer, it'll help
other<BR>> readers, but he'll have a field day. I can always<BR>>
add a bit about how his questions are loaded and<BR>> unfair, etc. I
think that's the way I'll go. It<BR>> looks like he'll be after me
for some time, so I<BR>> want to make my first attempt as strong as
possible,<BR>> because I don't have the time to chase him around<BR>>
