More from Gregg?

Is the appendix below from you, Gregg? It came from your own site
administrator at chat.carleton.ca.
A professional anthropologist taking time out to verify information
you find unstable? Goodness me, I have spent 15-20 years on some of
the material I have at hand; 12 months is chicken feed.
Now because I have succeeded, in the wake of actual threats made
against, to put together my own information network to assist me in
determining the reliability of information, in identifying specific
persons and the precise nature of the actions, and then publishing the
results, you suggest that makes my conduct improper?
Patiently accumulated facts make slanderous drivel? Heavens, what
sort of anthropology do you practice over there?
As I express my anger and disgust at finding anthropologists and other
academics of supposed high standing in our society, acting so against
individuals as spooks and voyeurs surreptitiously seeking to do them
harm, you yourself request action to be taken against me.
Well, I guess that reveals the difference between us out here in the
field, dealing with real people in real life, and you academics who
sit there with your income assured by tenure, and your personal
substance overseen by lawyers.
No thanks.
