Except for the fact that I've never threatened you.

And you--and certain others like you--are the REASON I don't advertise my 
real name.  In the past, I HAVE been threatened, I have been harassed, and 
I decided to take steps to put an end to that.

There's nothing that separates me from any other Celtics fan.  I claim no 
special knowledge, no professional association, and have met one or two 
Celtics players in the same way as any fan--either at a game, or by chance 
on the street.  My opinion is no more or less valid than anyone else's in 
general.

I express it and people are free to agree, disagree, or ignore it as they 
please.  But they are not free to--let me see, what was your EXACT QUOTE?

Oh yes: "What he cannot do is hurl insults at other list members and 
constantly come up with cute ways to put them down."

Your own words, Shawn.  Not mine, not anyone else's.  Time to either live 
up to your professed ideals or stop betraying them.

If I choose to use an obviously assumed name online, that's my 
decision.  If you dislike that idea, then simply reset your filters and 
move on.  You don't have to read, much less respond, to my posts.  if you 
choose to do otherwise, then that's a problem--but it's YOUR problem, NOT mine.

That goes for anyone else who has a problem with my choice of names or the 
subjects of my posts.
