Canie,

I don't know if the original post made was altered or not, I didn't see it, but what I did see was someone who made a post that was not suitable for this forum indicating that it appeared someone here had a mental problem. I asked after the very first post if she was talking about me and she did not answer, but rather attacked me in every post thereafter and you stood by and did nothing. You also stood by when Mike Williams was out of order and said nothing. You failed to answer my e-mails, thus ignoring the situation and thus created a situation which seemed untenable. You posted the rules so why are they not adhered to? You have let this place go to the dogs and made it a hostile environment and it appears have shown favoritism to some members.

Is Joan not the owner of the domain name of this site? If not why is she doing your job for you? Do you recall her calling me on the carpet over a post about jump ropes to which I was not hurting anyone, yet Cathryn maligns my character and I ask for an apology and the woman has the nerve to take what goes on here out to another site and exascerbates the situation and even sunk so low as to thank people for supporting her in her efforts to malign my character.

You have been grinding that ax for years over building that ear tone form which was not used due to another member who infringes and it should be self evident now that some here will do anything to make it appear those who hear ear tones are not normal. How could these people put up with that kind of behavior? They couldn't and that's why they are with me because my word is my bond and they need never fear that their information would put them in a situation where they would be subjects of hostile attacks. Could you have managed twenty of them and kept track of all of the nuances of ear tone research, seen it to a level not ever imagined? No way. Yet I have tolerated to the inth degree people trying to make me look bad such as the dark psychic housewife mentality. While I'm supposed to give science it's due credit, I on the other hand am supposed to take it on the chin when they sink to such low levels.

That is why I had to seek out fair treatment by a scientist outside of this country because there is no one here who is above reproach. The slings and arrows they launch at each other as grown men is astonishing. Musson is a fair man and one no one will ever question in his evaluation of my work. I cannot leave anything to chance when there is any possibility of bias. I have given a six month period of my life to prove my work is valid, who here would be willing to devote themselves to such an effort? It is work, but when you love what you do, it is joyful work, but better done without being attacked frequently in the process. I noticed you never told them to knock it off either.

You may be mad, but no one has hurt you personally to the degree to which I have been. I have chosen not to sue because I would have to think about all of this for probably three years and I'm not giving three years of my life to thinking about the shameful behavior that goes on in this place. It is your responsibility to protect the posters here from personal attacks, but you have failed miserably on all four fronts. I don't think you have a right to be mad at me for this, but rather to take a closer look at what has been happening and ask yourself why you allowed it.

You could have nipped this Cathryn problem in a heartbeat before it got totally out of control, but you did not, why? It is obvious we are not all on equal footing here and one can only surmise that is what you wanted. You thought if you kept your silence that you would let the rest of them take the flesh from my bones in hopes I would leave. Well, it worked didn't it?

I told you the return of Joan to this board would usher in the return of EQF and he is here isn't he. And heaven help anyone who might possibly say something unkind of him for he is under your umbrella of protection.

Earthwaves was supposed to be a friendly environment in regard to earthquake predicton, but it isn't anymore. It's a place where any discussion in favor of is being squelched. It's a killing field, not a supportive environment. But that should be taken as a natural course of events, if they can't do it then they want to make sure it appears no one can. Self protectionism is the key. Well, they can't win this time; earthquake prediction is here to stay. I don't care how many radio shows I will have to talk to but whatever it takes. The movement is on and I'm leading it and I shall see it to a successful conclusion despite obvious distractions.

You will reap what you have sewn. What goes around, comes around. One day someone will do something to you unfairly and when the shoe is on the other foot you'll know what it feels like. Your wheel of Karma has been set in motion by you; unfair, unjust, uncaring and prejudice behavior are yours to enjoy in the future. I hope all of you enjoy your just rewards.

I don't want what you have to offer, nor do I need it. I swear a form of maddness has overcome all of you. You can chose to be fair, but you haven't been and you are't going to change on my account.

I have a doctors appointment in a few minutes so I must leave this to another time. Maybe in the next century and we can see if anyone learned anything from this futile exercise.
