My "long history"?  Let's talk about yours.

Your perceptions of WSFA's current situation are as mistaken and biased
as your perceptions of me.  Your nasty tricks and attacks on me started
around the time I graduated from high school and have won you no friends
in fandom.  WSFAns like Bob Pavlat warned me about you, but in my
naivete I nonetheless tried to be your friend, mimeoing your fanzines
for you and loaning you a typer for more than a year.  I shouldn't have
bothered.  You're a pathetic man, Richard Eney, and your vendetta
against me has been unceasing since 1957.  You have never explained or
justified it, preferring just to lavish epithets on me.

When you joined this list it was my hope that you'd outgrown your
juvenile nastiness.  You have not been a WSFAn for many years and do not
attend WSFA meetings.  The importation of your malice to this list is
typical of you:  wait until a problem arises and then try to put your
own ignorant and vicious spin on it, all with an attitude of smug
superiority.

Since you haven't a clue to the current situation, know none of the
participants, and are just muddying the waters, why don't you just shut
your mouth and go away?  WSFA doesn't need further strife and that's all
you appear capable of contributing.  You are a master of pouring oil on
flames.
