Charles,
This is acutely distressing. You MADE UP a position that you ATTRIBUTED TO ME and then attacked, without bothering to PROVE THAT IT BORE ANY RESEMBLANCE TO MY ACTUAL POSITION. I was on the verge of burying this hatchet, but your behavior continues to be reprehensible. I thought we might be able to set this one aside, at least, but now I can see that, again, I took you for your better. Is there no end to the duplicity and deceit RIGHT HERE ON THE DPF? Your conduct is simply inexcusable.
Jim

I am reading this as a very gracious concession that your attacks on me over the use of the word "mastermind" were not well-founded. If so, I am grateful to you for saying as much. That certainly would go a long way in restoring my faith in you to a large extent, so I hope that I am right in my interpretation. That would display intelligence and integrity on your part.

Thanks, Jim, and God bless.
Now get some rest, old friend; you've earned it.
No, Jim, there is no concession being offered.
My request for a blessing was and remains most sincere.
Although I find your tone to be friendly and kind-spirited, and it makes me yearn for a return to the time when we could respect each other.
