Well, the only two people you quoted were Todd and me. If Todd is not
"you", then I'm not sure whether to find your accusation baffling or
insultiung. Maybe both.

Well, I responded to the baffling complacency of:

"I sensed
a sort of malice from him [Schaffer] that I do not sense in any of DK's insults to
other participants. I won't dwell on this, and I might of course be
wrong (but I'm not).

Schaffer could be brutal in his responses to musical armchair generals. He was rather tactless and impatient. I wasn't saying he was a model internet citizen.
However he never organized campaigns to paint people he didn't like as antisemites.

You claimed my remarks were malicious, which is way off base. I never
bore or displayed any malice toward MS, while he was here or now, and
you have no evidence of such. Todd, who is not blinded by, well, by
whatever, caught the proper tenor of my remarks.

Nope. I ski about architecture. I
leave dancing to fiddlers, so they
can impale themselves on their
bows as soon as they slip.
