Re: OK JIM NO MESSAGE MEANS NO

Joyce,

I was away from the internet on business the entire day yesterday.

The fact of the matter is that I have meant EVERY conciliatory thing I have been saying to you on the Forum since February.I have just learned from your MOST recent postings that you have not read ANYTHING posted by me until very recently BY ACCIDENT,

I suggest you do remedial reading of ALL my postings and see if you understand that this "Feud" has not been something I have wanted to continue.

I am sorry that you have thought this and that, laid to my doorstep, meant that I liked what was taking place.Most of the time I have been bewildered by what you seemed to be attributing to me.

Please, please READ what I've posted.Try to understand what ideas I have thrust forward for evaluation, saying' "As matters stand, we CAN'T rule out these possibilities." We are trying to be objective here; and not attack the individual for reason that we discredit his ideas.

I genuinely have puzzled over some of your postings and said to myself, "What COULD she mean here?What IS she accusing me of?"

I have wanted to compare ideas dispassionately with you for two decades, since you TURNED ON ME to the degree that you felt like calling me a vile name, and apparently did so to others SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU DID NOT ACCEPT MY RIGHT TO HYPOTHESIZE.

The thesis you said was mine (what you thought I believed) in your Capps Books was NOT mine.You did NOT understand my view then and you were right to disbelieve THAT thesis.It was neither a right one nor was it WHAT I BELIEVED at the time.But you let your impatience cause you to break off with me instead of RESOLVING our seeming differences, which were not REALLY all that great, truth be known.

So I have NEVER intended to attack you, or SEEM to.I regret any word of mine that anyone may have interpreted as putting you down personally.In that sense I apologize to you and anyone who knows you through anything I may have written in any medium.

I have been sincerely concerned for your health recently.When you follow this and go back and re-read my postings, you will know that I speak truth from the contents of my latter-day ones of September and/or October. I owe you so much for guiding me to Steve Voremburg's "Family Roots" software and your early encouragement in moving into the daunting task that you realized I was taking on, trying to do the WHOLE Fly family, country wide. I thank you for all the "positive" thinking that went into our early collaboration.

I wish you well, Joyce. I mean it.
