Mandown:
I am not calling you a liar or any other name. Sorry you felt that way. I think that reasonable readers know exactly what my point was and it was about appearance of impropriety and the futility of trying to erase that after the fact.
I absolutely agree that one needs to judge arguments on the merits and you are obviously welcome to post whatever you want; but like it or not, there is always going to be extra scrutiny because of your affiliation. That's just life in the big city.
And to be a bit more pointed, some if not many of your posts are not factual or logical in nature -- such as your personal attack on me because of the fact that I was formally a lawyer. Would a reasonable person conclude that your affiliation with Brown might have had something to do with your motivation to make that comment? You bet.
It's not just the affiliation, it's the attempt to cover it up and/or deny it's influence -- like Brown has done with the unnamed poster and perhaps others -- that causes Jerry all these additional headaches. Ask Martha Stewart and Bill Clinton about that.
And it's too late to make that go away. Thus, Brown's continued use of diversionary tactics to make it seem that however wrong he was, everybody else is even wronger.
As for Jerry's post:
You can say 'Bull' all you want, that doesn't make it so. I have never seen the TOB replay. I don't know where he was on the turn and it would be to your benefit to keep quiet about it because then you can cash more tickets.
And as for Ragozin's alleged lies, I have not seen the transcript, nor do I have the context to this dispute and I think I posted a bunch of stuff before on this last year which I think still stands.
