"Don't you know better than to try and say something good about a
Trek show in the B5 area? I'm surprised JMS didn't come flying in here
accusing you of having a sinister agenda and trying to do him personal
harm."

An interesting comment from you, given that you're addressing
this to Wayne Hall, your brother, so obviously he came in here to leave
the message so you could then respond in this fashion, and thus attack
me.

Also intresting in light of your comments on AOL, in which you
were the single loudest voice screaming bloody murder whenever B5 was
mentioned in the ST areas, and your repeated request, verging on
demand, that people be prohibited from mentioning B5 at ST conventions,
bitching about the mention of B5 at ST panels, and generally carrying
on cranky whenever the show got any mention at all in a ST folder.

Whereas, on the other hand, when the B5 page was opened on AOL, I
made it a *point* to make sure that there was a subsidiary section set
aside for the discussion of other TV series, including the variations
of ST, to create a more open environment.

The problem, as usual with you, Randy, is entirely yours. You
continue to project onto others your own problems. You're truly a
pathetic individual.

Well, yes, Randy, I'm sure I responded exactly as you thought I
would. When one exhibits poor behavior in public, one will usually be
corrected. You came in here and, totally unprovoked, without any
message from me, without even a word from me in the thread, took a
cheap and untrue shot at me, and my behavior.

When one pokes the bear without *any* justification, except to
do it, well, I suppose it is only natural to expect some kind of
reaction. If I were to pour a pint of chocolate milk on someone's
floor, I could anticipate their reaction. But the problem would not be
in the reaction; the problem would be in the ill-mannered, senseless,
stupid and uwnarranted provocation.

Still, I take this as a sign of growth on your part that you
can now predict the kind of response your generally poor behavior
elicits. And, as usual, you just dive out of the way instead of
confronting the facts of your past behavior.

Which is exactly what *I* expected of *you*.

Symmetry is a wonderful thing, is it not?

If you're looking for rationality here, save your time; these
are the same two, he and his brother, who *insisted* over on AOL that I
had sent official B5 reps to conventions to bash ST...and when
challenged, backpedaled fast...until finally admitting that they saw a
couple of guys on a panel who'd said bad things about ST, but were in
NO way associated with B5 in ANY official capacity whatsoever. They
basically just made it up.

He just posted a HUGE and *provable* fabrication about DS9's
ratings over on the ST section, and then has the audacity to come here
and say that *I* speak with a forked tongue.

They seem to think that somehow I should prevent B5 fans from
ever saying anything derogatory about ST. I don't have that kind of
control. They said it here again, that I "allow" this behavior. This
is irrational thinking at its finest, that somehow I control or allow
viewers of this or any show to do or say ANYthing. Their attitude is
like a cranky child, "Make 'em stop talking bad about our show!"

Basically, accuracy and the Halls dine at separate tables.
You're making the same mistake I did at first with the Halls...assuming
that you were dealing with sensible individuals interested in the
facts. You're not, and they're not.

Thanks...the pleasure is entirely mine.
