Jay - I can see from your perspective why that first sentence sounds bad. Let me explain a bit.
At the time, I felt that *I* was being descriminated against. Larry was ignoring my request, and Dr. Bob was ignoring my email to him. I felt like Bob and Larry had sorta ganged up against me by ignoring me. That's why I posted - I felt ignored by both men. That is difficult for me since we live in a society which favors men in salaries, power positions, etc. I felt disenfranchised. That's when I posted my diatribe.
Had Dr. Bob replied to my emailed request, this never would have happened. Had Larry either not posted to me, or indicated that he thought my request was invalid - this never would have happened.
I agree that Larry's block is too long. But to blame me for this block, IMO, is unfair. The only thing I regret is not asking a friend of his to remind him to stop posting to me. However, since he now states that he thinks my request was invalid, I don't know if he would have respected that additional request.
Jay, I too am a strong supportor of my pals, so I certainly understand your strong feelings. I think your kind support of your friend is commendable.
