I understand your frustration, but let me remind you that Mike started 
this feud on EM with his posting that "electionmethods.org is cancelled."

That bold assertion in itself should tell you quite a lot about Mike, 
considering that he doesn't have the authority to "cancel" 
electionmethods.org, and I certainly didn't agree to "cancel" it.

Beyond that, he cited bogus excuses for canceling the site, such as my 
re-worded definitions. He also brought up a debate we had on capital 
gains taxes -- as though that was the crux of our disagreement. Then he 
made all kinds of statements about how "loud" I am, and how I refuse to 
listen to reason, etc., etc. Mike probably thought he could get away 
with such statements because I was not subscribed, and he didn't think I 
would look in the archives. I felt I had the right to defend myself 
against such a blatant character attack. Wouldn't you?

I'm sorry you are annoyed. So am I, to be honest. I have work that I 
should be doing. And I don't mean that in a condescending way at all. 
It's just a simple fact.
