To be clear, I don't believe I requested that anyone be kicked out of 
the IGC.  I believe I asked the co-cordinators to do something.  I would 
have been satisfied at that point with a note about inappropriate 
behavior.  I never expected an apology.

As far as the comparative accounts go, and peoples' judgements of me, 
all I can say is that there is a world of difference between 'pointing a 
finger' and 'having a finger in your face'.  And 'freaking' is a word 
often used to avoid unacceptable language.

At this point, I have long since given up on this issue ever being 
handled properly.  I accept my punishment for speaking out against the 
attack and what I have seen as a long history of bullying that never got 
coordinator action - only those who are bullied are ever criticized; 
they always bring it on themselves by what the say and beleive.  Who 
knew that would be the prevailing IGC logic.

I will continue to lurk on the IGC list, but for the most part don't 
plan to participate in discussions until it changes its tenor. I will, 
however, continue reporting on anything worth reporting when there is 
something worth reporting that I know something about.  I also plan to 
remain a member of the caucus.
