because you provoke me and make me vexed

a fat alcohol-abusing gimp was how i referred to you 
after you bragged on the list how gently you would have 
physically removed little me from contact with Wali. 
then went on to fantasize what injuries Clark Santos 
would have inflicted on me had he chosen to do so 
(Clark being a personal friend of mine from the 60s). 
apparently you needed to translate your fantasy of 
thrashing me to a third party 

cet animal est tres mechant
quand on l'attaque, il se defend

as for calling jon ford a lackwit and a miasmic bubble of
swamp gas, i said such things only after he had dumped 
all over me (excuse the metaphor). 

again,

cet animal est tres mechant
quand on l'attaque, il se defend

but i dont doubt you will still pretend not to get it
as you are apparently a hopeless case in this regard 
and thus have to be moderated
