I still haven't seen Forman's post on this subject, but I do believe
you are telling lies about me again, Bob. You've got a mighty funny
habit for someone who gets all hot under the collar when asked a simple
question about whether you are a member of a lunatic, racist fascist
organisation. Given that you give every appearance here of being a
lunatic, racist fascist, it doesn't seem to me to be an ureasonable
question. By the way, Bob, if you think I wanted to try to "bury"
this thing with the burial, do you think I would just ignore it?
Don't you think a better strategy would be to attempt to discredit
it? And why do you accuse me of lying about not having read Frank's
post on this? Nobody accused you of lying when you said that you
didn't know I'm Mommy Professor.

Ah, so this is what you meant by that statement. I didn't say that
he was "untrustworthy". I did say that, given that he's made some
pretty glaring errors in the past (and I'd be happy to point you to
the references that trace the history of the particularly enormous
blunder that I mentioned), I'd prefer to see something other than
a 2 inch newspaper column, or something posted to usenet, before
expressing an opinion on the matter. Geez, Bob, learn to read.

No Bob, what I said wasn't "it isn't clear at this point what
*did* happen". Oops, forgot, your brain only allows two options.
Did you let Levi-Strauss do experiments on your head in the late
1960s or something?
