You know what I find strange?  It's that you'd post the email to the 
list (twice!).  Why would you do that?  Don't you realize it's _you_ 
who's spreading offensive language publicly?  (My email was, of 
course, private.)  The play on my name _was_ a nice touch, though. 
Never heard that one before.

And I won't deny that my email was offensive.  Very, very offensive. 
(For those not in the know, the word in question in my email means 
exactly what you _think_ it means.)  It's _meant_ to be offensive. 
Jaime was talking about free speech.  That's the way he wants it. 
Well, he gets it.  Next thing you know, he's calling for my 
censorship.  Great reasoning there.  It further explicates my point: 
namely, that Jaime is an example of someone who wants the freedom to 
say things, as long as it's what _he's_ saying.

Anyway, obviously this is my final say publicly about this.  My point 
is made, anyway.  Further correspondence will be conducted (and ought 
to have _been_ conducted) in private email.  Just think, if Jaime 
hadn't sent private email to the list, you wouldn't even have had to 
listen to this.

ObCeltics (of course): The C's lost a must win game against the 
Timberpups, and I'm just not as upset as I could be (normally am). 
They played hard, though they reverted somewhat to previous form. 
They hung tough, and were in it until the end.  Pierce's three with 
6.7 left was just cold ... icy, even.  Just jumped back and nailed 
it.  Big shot.  We're going to have to win some games on the road, 
though, and I vacilate between being worried and thinking that we've 
got a good shot at the eighth seed.  Imagine actually _wanting_ to be 
in the playoffs?  The heresy!
