Subj: [kl] Why I unsubscribed to the klarinet list
Date: Mon, 15 Jan 2001 20:38:56 -0500

On December 14, 2000, I broke my own "sleep on it first" rule and impulsively
posted a (badly- written) political diatribe about the Presidential election,
on the sneezy Phorum (bulletin board). In the aftermath, on December 16,
2000, I unsubscribed to the klarinet list, withdrew from the Phorum and asked
Mark to remove from www.sneezy.org an article I had given him permission to
post there. Mark then sent out a private e-mail, stating that in my Phorum
rant, I implied that George W. Bush is "similar to Hitler." I did not say or
imply any such thing. Moreover, such a comparison deeply offends me, as it
trivializes Hitler.

Mark sent me a copy of this e-mail at my request, after someone told me about
it. He acknowledged to me that he sent this e-mail to three active
participants on this list. He refuses to retract it. I have now posted a
long message containing, among other things, the text of the deleted portion
of my Phorum rant, on a public-access newsgroup:

alt.music.clarinet
See the January 15, 2001 thread, "Why I left the klarinet list (very long)."

I put the message there, out of reach of Mark's censorship, so that people
who give hanging chad about any of this can judge for themselves what I
really said. I returned to this list only to set the record straight. Once
I'm sure that the present message has been distributed to the klarinet list,
I'll once again unsubscribe. I'll miss the Klarinet list and the Phorum, but
this is not a reversible decision, for reasons that I believe the newsgroup
message will make clear.

Best wishes,
Lelia
