Should I stay or should I go?

["Charles T. 'Dr. Tom' Turley" <gbmaidsf@wco.com>]

Well, after months of careful consideration and thought, I present the 
following repost for all to comment on.  I'm leaving it all up to CSA2 
popular reply, as to if I should leave the Apple II/IIGS and simply go 
to the Mac!  Speak you feelings and I'll act accordingly to popular 
request!

Sincerely,
Charles T. 'Dr. Tom' Turley

   Ain't going to get a "positive, friendly, and agreeable reply" as
long as you keep running away from the central tenant: _you_
(Dr. Wrong) are the problem.

   You are the one who's been raked over the coals for excessive
spamming of contests by c.s.a2 regulars (me, David Empson, Mark
Miller), while continually denying the fact that you were wrong.

   You are the one who tries to use threats of psychological
evaluations to avoid admitting that you're lying about your email
address.

   You are the one whose continual presence and lies attracts people
who have to clean up after your s**t.

   May I suggest you clean up your act, and the Apple II community as
a whole will benefit? I'd love to be able to _keep_ responding with
facts and the truth all day, especially if it didn't have to include
dealing with yours.
