He can’t respond if he’s been banned.
Oh, trust me. He has my e mail address. He’ll give me a piece of his mind. But if he chooses to provide the proof I’ll publish the comment. But I strongly doubt he will.
If his next e mail manages not to accuse me of lying or beating my wife, then I’ll likely unban him–till he goes & says something obnoxious again (there’s always a next time with him).
Another reason I have to ban him periodically is that he’ll publish 20 comments in this thread if I let him saying virtually the same thing over & over again.
UPDATE: Wouldn’t you know, Aussie Dave didn’t waste any time in e mailing me as I wrote above. He’s now threatened (or promised–I can’t tell which) a lawsuit. Not sure what the grounds would be–other than allegedly lying and making him very, very mad. Sit tight everyone, this could get hairy.
I have to concur with the other commenter – you asked him to prove something, yet you banned him. I am also troubled by the fact you made an allegation, seemingly without without any factual basis, and then ask for proof to disprove the allegation. Would you like to be treated this way?
I am sorry Richard, but you are in the wrong here.
I am treated this way all the time both here & at other sites. Someone makes what I consider an inaccurate statement. I say so. They respond: “prove it.” And if I have the proof I do. That’s generally the way discussions & political argument works.
My statement was not “seemingly without factual basis.” It was based on a conversation I had with a blogger who knows quite a bit about the inner workings of PJM.
I didn’t ban Aussie Dave because I didn’t want him to present his proof. I banned him because he called me a “liar” w/o any proof of the claim. My comment rules clearly indicate (read them please) that if you make such charges against me you are liable to be banned.
Also, I offered to publish any proof he would provide and said that I would believe him if he offered it. If he was acting in good faith he would take me up on this offer. Instead, his response was to promise me a lawsuit for being a “liar,” a charge he still hasn’t proven. Thankfully, judges have a bit higher standard of proof than Aussie Dave seems to have.
