Bluecanary - after what you just sent to me (your second message) I do believe you’ve nullified any ambition you may hold regarding having the qualifications and moral rectitude to lecture _anyone_about etiquette and ‘Good form.’ Good grief! You’re not going to hurt me with your hatred and vitriol but you are poisoning yourself - sadly.

There was nothing in the list of rules and regs that stated one may not post PM’s, but in any case, I’m absolutely certain that what you sent me **this** time, between the name-calling and the other less than classy expressions you chose, should be against _anyone’s_ code of decency, morality, self-respect, and humanity. I warned you what would happen if you didn’t take your ball and go home when it comes to me, and I urge you not to test me on this point. As I told you, I don’t entertain behind the scenes interactions - unless they are civil.

As I said, have a NICE day - it’s so much more peaceful.

Jesse.
