it was about how what seemed to be your responce to marc's draft brought 
up issues that didn't appear in marc's draft - ie. an interpretation of 
marc's intent...

may i suggest, then, in the interest of not making enemies unnecessarily 
that when you respond to someone you respond to *their* ideas first and 
foremost... i accept that you were trying to make a point to the general 
public and those censorious board members, but i only just found that out 
now, it wasn't made clear in the original post...

: Why Marc flipped out and started calling me all kinds of names, I have
: no idea. Maybe he had a bad day?

from my vantage point it had to do with misdirecting your reply... if you 
feel you need to make a point to censorious board members, then it would 
be best to reply to articles in which those specific board members made 
censorious suggestions...

marc got the impression you were directing your criticisms at him - and 
no wonder, you followed up his post and quoted his text when you did it...

anywho, it's good that your intent has been clarified - perhaps some of 
the hostility will be abated...
