I'm pleased that Mike Glyer declined to print the libelous flier which
Alexis circulated at November's First Friday, which he evidently
enclosed with his letter.

I am quite upset that Alexis has chosen to broadcast his slanders to
the four corners of fandom, even after Ted and I both left the club.
What more does he want from us?  Seppuku?

One oddity is the business about meetings having been held at the
Gillilands for 28 years.  When that number was printed in December's
WSFA Journal, I thought maybe Ernest had misquoted Alexis.  But it's
unlikely that Mike would make the exact same mistake -- and he was
working from Alexis's letter, not from the Journal.  So the mistake
must be Alexis's.  What reason would Alexis have to *subtract* a
decade from the time he has been hosting?  (He's been hosting WSFA
for 38 years, not 28.)

Like Lee's untruths, there's no pattern to it.  It's just random.
I'm not a doctor, so I won't speculate further.

The club owes a lot to Alexis.  But that doesn't give him license
to viciously spread malicious falsehoods about members and former
members.  If I were still a member, I'd move that the club give half
its treasury to the Gillilands for services rendered, on condition
that they go away, never again host or attend any WSFA event, and
cease making defamatory statements about past and present WSFA
members.

P.S.  Would someone *please* contact NetWizards about getting my
name and address taken off the whois record for WSFA.org?
