Steve, you're right: "Julian" started the "Reinstate Chaos" thread as well and in it claimed I was feeilng inferior about going to a lesser law school than Chao (I went to Duke -- I'm deeply ashamed). Curiously, this same comment was made by Mark M. many many months ago when he was defending Chao and attacking me. Plus, M. has been known to act irrationally via email and attack others solely because of their purported friendship with me (see Sloate, Barry). No one else has ever brought up this very ridiculous argument but M. and "Julian" and there were many months in between their posts. With all respect, Ray Charles could see through "Julian"'s ruse.

I started this thread to discuss a practice on ebay that annoys me. I didn't out the auction. I didn't out the seller or publicly chastise him. I simply discussed the issue in as vague of a manner as possible -- and I very well may be wrong on this issue as I've noted. None of that justifies an anonymous personal attack. No doubt I'm tough on certain people on this board but never in an anonymous manner and very rarely do I start it (Peter Chao excepted -- but for God's sake, I couldn't take anymore, I am human, really), though I do respond with gusto.

I suppose what I am trying to say to "Julian" is I don't mind the personal attacks: but a) be a man and don't do it anonymously; and b) be prepared for a response which you may not enjoy.
