No need for a retraction here. There are many reasons your posts are no longer tolerated at
Reucmbents.com and the virus upload was the last straw.
Jim Replies:
... Virus upload??? If you cannot provide proof, a retraction would be both the courtesy and the
honorable thing to do, but perhaps that's expecting entirely too much of you. This is pure fiction
(read malicious lie), but as long as someone believes your [censored], that's all that really matters
to you ... right Ed? This isn't about "truth" or "facts". This is all about sullying someone's
reputation by any and all means possible, even if that means rendering a preposterous lie served
from beneath the protective cloak of a cowardly pseudonym. Where's you sense of fair play? Oh, I
almost forgot ... you don't play fair. Allow me to seize this opportunity to once again emphatically
state that I did not upload a virus to the listserv. The burden of proof rests with the accuser, so
accuser ... where's your proof? I am still patiently waiting. Don't sing it ... bring it ... Put up
or shut up! Allow me to repeat my challenge that you have deliberately and conveniently sidestepped
thus far. I challenge you to prove your accusation. If you are unable to produce proof, I challenge
you to write a retraction. If you are unable and/or unwilling to do either, then be prepared to
accept the forgone conclusion that logically follows ... that consumed by hatred and driven by
obsession, in a continued campaign to defame and discredit, you fabricated a non-event, concocted
for the sole purpose of smearing my name. Prove me wrong...
1. Will you offer any proof of your allegation? (Yes or No)
2. Will you write a retraction if you answer to #1 above is No? (Yes or No)
... or, will you once more evade the issue and again fail to provide an answer to numbers 1 and/or 2
above. Of course, silence is always an option, although silence is the same as admitting that you
did in fact deliberately contrive this nonsense in an effort to denigrate. Nonetheless, I would
consider silence ... acceptable. Silence will work for me and probably for the readership too.
NOTE: I did post the body of a WORM infected email complete with "To:" header and forged "From:"
header information. Ed Gin's email address was obviously spoofed and consequently Ed was as
much a victim as were those in the "To:" header. I attempted to extend to Ed, and the
readership of the Monkey Island Forum, the courtesy of a heads up, but Ed deliberately
misconstrued my sincere intentions and falsely reported that I uploaded a virus. Ed has an
overactive imagination. He simply cannot prove that I uploaded a virus because he can't prove
what never occurred.

Will you ever realize that the personal feuds you have with members of the HPV community
benefit no one?
Jim replies:
... He who lives in a glass house shouldn't chuck rocks. This is a case of the pot calling the
kettle black. You have had more feuds with members of the HPV community than I have. Mine have
been basically limited to you and your friend Alan when he decided to involve himself in one of
our previous feuds. To his credit, Alan stayed out of this one, unless he happens to have been
one of the
pseudonyms that I still contend to be you.

None of your posts were ever edited or censored at Recumbents.com. They have been removed as they
were offensive, insulting and criminal to say the least. The moderators at that site will never
allow you to post there again PERIOD!
Jim replies:
... Edited ... No, but since when is removal not a form of censorship? My posts were removed because
they were posts from your adversary, plain and simple. Offensive, insulting ... Yes ... Criminal ...
No. You have made many an offensive and/or insulting post but your posts will never be targeted for
removal. Why? Well, because the moderator isn't about to remove his own posts and you are the
moderator after all. Recumbents.com and Monkey Island are not one and the same. I can post at
Recumbents.com and Monkey Island. You on the other hand can remove my posts on Monkey Island. You
heart breaker you ... I've already told you that if I were banished from Monkey Island, I would
consider that a badge of honor. I guess that just didn't sink in.

No one at Recumbents.com will ever have to listen to your criminal linseed oil escapades or non
recumbent related vicious personal attacks anymore.
Jim replies:
... Anyone who has endured the monotonous repetition of what you refer to as "criminal linseed oil
escapades", has don so because you, not I, were doing the posting, so you have only yourself to
blame for that. Everyone at Recumbents.com (Monkey Island you mean) will get to listen your
incessant juvenile [censored] because you can say anything you want with no fear of reprisal because
you are the moderator.

Jim replies:
... ModRatorMan is one of Ed Gin's many pseudonyms that he uses to cowardly obscure his
true identity.
Jim McNamara (no pseudonym used ... no obscured identity required)
pps OK, I'm willing to defer to the readership who have understandably grown weary of all this and
have made their displeasure known. Ed - the heinous muckraker - Gin can continue to harp and
whine, rave and rant if he so desires. He can persist with his hateful, boring and incoherent
babble. Comforted by the notion that he is shielded behind one of his many surreptitious
pseudonyms, he will likely continue to spread more lies ... unsubstantiated prevarications ...
accusations devoid evidence ... fabrications without corroboration. If you like to read
fiction, then stay tuned for Ed's latest episode. As for me, I'm done. Someone has to call it
quits. It may as well be me.
