i got a couple of emails from him. he's a cynical old fart. but, more important, he's a weasel. he wants to be a control freak, and this is his avenue. kid around with him in a private email... and be as cynical as can be, and he'll suddenly think you're all peaches & sunshine again.
remember, control is his game. so, if he can at any turn, he will control.
gets him off

The threads they don't allow on Medialine are the ones that devolve into attacks on individual people that could expose Medialine (or any site that allows ad hominem attacks, including this one) to lawsuits.

From what Mark and others explained on ML, it wasn't worth the risk of getting sued to allow anonymous sniping on a forum that makes their company no money.

This site can provide a valuable resource that I do miss on ML as long as people use it responsibly. Otherwise, it will disappear too. You'll see.
