Hermit's insulting behavior vis-a-vis my mother and his
discriminatory BBS and IRC abuse are what I find unacceptable; my
responses to such behavior should be easily understandable by anyone
else that possesses the self-respect to not passively acquiesce in the
slander and/or abuse of themselves or their family.
In the interests of equity, I should not be demanded to indulge
in an admission of uncertainty when Hermit was himself not subjected
to such demands, nor would he himself ever admit either any
uncertainty or any mistake he made. Of course, the future is always
uncertain; that fact is reflected in the very statistical nature of cost-
benefit analysis. However, in Hermit's world, the future was
foreordained to unfold precisely as he predicted, and when it didn't, he
refused to acknowledge the fact.
And no, I do not keep a picture of Hermit beside my monitor; I simply
respond to the emails I receive, as does everyone here.
