I'm afraid your logic is slipping a bit.  I readly admitted that there was a
conspiracy and that there was an attempt to recruit me.  I also openly
stated that I not only declined to join the movement to censor you, but
advised them that I would actively oppose any such attempt.  Then I reported
the conspiracy and my response to you.  No waffling necessary.  Your
analysis is flawed.  Being asked to join is not the same as joining.

While this may be hard for you to comprehend, perhaps I can make it easier.
I left Scuba-L without a single strike.  I simply walked out in protest of
the censorship issue and clearly stated there and here, that I had.  I
haven't been back since.  I don't read the archives, I don't post to the
list and I've expressed a preference that others let it go as well.  What
would or could be the point in conspiring to censor you in one place, then
leaving that place to reside here, where you still are?

How about expressing pity for your inability to understand the written word
or think logically about anything that doesn't agree with you?

What do you know about that, Jean-Marc, a non native speaker, got it.  You
didn't.
