Andreas:

 

I wonder if you saw the Dean of Colombia's introduction to Ahmadinejad.  You
seem to be enjoying the role of "petty dictator."

Lawrence is up to his usual whining.

 

I blocked his emails from my computer.

 

If he keeps it up, I'll filter him out altogether.

Apparently you're still on Lit-Id, Lawrence, which I greet with great 

relief.  I'd hate to have to leave this list.  I enjoy it very much, but I 

couldn't  in good conscience stay having been kicked off Theoria for nothing


more than displeasing the head honcho.  So, if you're still on Lit-Id in the


morning, I think you should send a correction to Theoria, with maybe a dig 

at LK.  : )

  Andreas sent me a somewhat ambiguous note that could be read as either 1) 

he was blocking my notes from his personal computer, 2) he was blocking me 

from Lit-Ideas or 3) he was making a joke.  In his note to me he said I had 

"gone too far," which was an allegation Ann Coulter said that Conservatives 

often made against her.  And he was responding to my Ann Coulter note as 

though my posting of it had gone "too far."  I responded to Andreas as 

though he were making a joke, but later when I attempted to respond to John 

Wager I got the following:

 

 

 

  Mail System Error - Returned Mail

 

 

 

  This Message was undeliverable due to the following reason:

 

 

 

  Your message was not delivered because the return address was refused.

 

 

 

  The return address was "<lawrencehelm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>"

 

 

 

  Please reply to Postmaster@<PostmasterDomain> if you feel this message to 

be in error.

 

 

 

 

 

  I had no reason to feel the message to be in error.  I assumed that 

Andreas note must mean that I had been booted out of Lit-Ideas for invoking 

Ann Coulter, albeit in a minor way - and primarily because of her collective


term "Liberal."

 

 

 

  I therefore said farewell to a few people and shuffled off to Theoria.

 

 

 

  But, but, but, said Judy, "The thing is, your reply to John Wager reached 

the list -- if this is the one you mean."  And then forwarded the very note 

that had been returned to me.

 

 

 

  Cough, cough, cough.  Could that be true?   Am I still on Lit-Ideas or 

not?  I can't really ask Andreas if he has blocked me from his personal 

computer; so I shall have to put this to the test.

 

 

 

 

 

  Lawrence, only modestly amused by this whole experience
