I agree; it's pretty gutless to fire away with insults and then hide
behind a phony name.

------These messages are about whom? Isn't it Peter Stewart? By agreeing you
are implying that you think Peter Stewart is gutless because he hides behind
(according to what you agree with) a phony name.
No I do not want a fight. But I do want a fair treatment for someone who is
not able to defend himself. Brandon has started another flame added to by
Richardson and now by Hines and you.
What I think is gutless is when someone is asked pertinent questions about
genealogy and they don't want, or can't answer, that they throw a tantrum
and change the subject.
Now that is what I call obnoxious.
With best wishes

Leo: Can you really be that dense (to put it politely)?
Where did I say Peter Stewart was hiding behind a phony identity? Check
again, I neither said it nor did I imply it.
If you are in the least bit capable of reading my postings you can see I'm
not hiding from anyone. I have never posted under an alias -- as you know,
since you have sent me several of your obnoxious emails over the past
several weeks.
I have no problem with someone using an alias. Where I have the problem
is when someone hides behind an alias to insult and send flames.
Know do you understand? You apparently are just looking for a fight; well
look for one somewhere else.
