Sam's Instructions in Private Email

Sam has instructed me now several times in private email to stay on-topic. I won't post his messages, at my prerogative, because I think the intent is pretty clear. Sam, might I remind you that you are not the moderator of the group nor it's operator. You are out of place to behave as a police officer for the group. Other people deciding to let the subject drop is not an invitation for you to take control of the group nor is it a ratification of your point of view. You have only demonstrated that your intentions are not pure, that any point you had was invalidated by your own rudeness and OFF-TOPIC postings and that you are incapable not only of controlling yourself but, by extension, a mailing list such as this. I must insist that you discontinue harassing me via private email and that you re-evaluate the conclusions that were drawn by others so that you can see that others deciding not to bother with you does not indicate that anyone condones or invites your police activities. I gave you fair warning that I would post your private emails and, if they do not discontinue IMMEDIATELY, I will do so in every case so that others can see that you are simply a bully and nothing more. In every case, the behavior for which you are chastising me is specifically PERMITTED in the FAQ. So your efforts demonstrate that you are activing purely on the basis of malice. I will NOT give in to your tactics nor will I tolerate them. I am not a police officer for this list but I do have a right to defend myself against your antics. And I'm not going to permit you to hide the behavior behind private email for your own twisted satisfaction. Sam, "What is done in the dark shall come to the light." Remember that.
