In a recent article , Michael A. Petonic lifted a flame I
specifically aimed at him in private email and used it against Dave
Kleppel.  He then implied that I had given him permission to do this.

Wrong.

I flamed him in email so that it would sate his public pathetic attempts
to get a sample of my roasting technique.  A bad move on my part, because
Mike, eager to gain status as a Net God, started in AGAIN with MORE 
public pathetic attempts:  this time, to get me to flame his "enemies."
Not even his masturbating to a poster of Star Trek IV could offer solace to his
realization that I was not going to rise to his bait.  So, hoping to become
King of the Sandbox, lacking the amount of imagination present in certain 
species of multi-legged invertebrates, he posted my email flame against Dave.

Pretty sad.  It's tough for me to realize that there actually *are* guys
like that out there, with semen encrusted keyboards and social lives
more bereft than a used tissue's who are so desparate for anonymous public 
assurance that they'll stoop to any level of obnoxiousness, even if the
only recognition they get is a slap in the face.

To Mike, and all the other dweebs who see themselves in this posting:  for
Goddess' sake, GET HELP.

To the rest, who feel a tremor of uneasiness about sending email to brats
like him... trust that lurching feeling in your gut.

I would appreciate someone forwarding this disavowal to alt.flame, as I 
cannot post there.  Thank you.
