	Yes, I wrote that and I meant every word.  HOWEVER, I drew the
line when you threatened to eliminate extropians conference.  I do
believe in tolerance, but I am not so tolerant as to give you a knife
and present my back.  Perry was right, your posts were disruptive from
what I recall.  I do think that Perry's recent post was 'over-colorful'
in describing the nature of your posts, so I don't endorse his specific
language.  But I do think that Perry is basically correct in that
several people supported your banishment and with good reason.

	I'm not picking on you.  This is nothing personal.  I simply
believe that Perry has his facts straight.
