    Ouch, Jon.

    I suppose I should take the full blame for the shamefully
    disrespectful treatment Andy received on ars.  And for
    willfully placing myself directly in the path of what he was
    trying to do.  <so to speak>

    I don't consider that my views on Andy and his opinions
    have any more weight than anybody else's.  By pretending that
    I believe they do, it is Andy who is giving offense to me.
    Can't you see that?

    But, anyway.

    I hate to be left in the role of Big Meanie.  This is the way
    it seems you see me.  Unfair to poor <whoever>.  Well I'm
    sorry.  I consider my writing my art.  I consider my
    participation on ars as a performance.  I consider your
    computer screen my stage.  Anyone who doesn't like the show
