[MD] In the drink

Mark

I have asked you twice so far I and am asking for the third and final 
time to stop posting allegations against Anthony. If you continue to do 
so then you will leave me no choice but to moderate your contributions 
to MD. I do not want to do this but I will if you continue.
And before Glenn Bradford and various others start whooping and 
hollering and declaring me censorious and whatever, this does not mean 
that you will be banned or removed from the list. You will be free to 
post on other subjects as you wish as long as you don't repeat the abuse 
that you have already subjected others to.

No, as you are quite aware. You are entirely free to privately 
communicate whatever and whenever to whomever you please regarding your 
allegations about Anthony. I cannot and would not try to stop you. You 
have already done so in a private posting to several members of this 
list - and at least one so far has asked not to be included. I have 
repeatedly stated, as have others, that what you are doing is 
inappropriate and as such I do not want it to continue. Your allegations 
are serious and if you had the courage of your apparent convictions you 
would take it to the appropriate authorities and deal with it officially 
instead of slinging mud and hoping some of it sticks.

Not as far as I'm aware.

Well, there you go then. The appropriate channels are, or may be, open 
to you. Do you have the bottle to make use of them? It would have saved 
a lot of time and aggravation had you done so from the start.
