An excellent example of a dishonest quote
This is a quote that you gave:
"Arnold took exception to my not summarily siding with him and rejecting Viktor and RGE. The infantile behavior that followed was an embarrassment, and it became clear that Arnold and his wife could no longer be objective about my dealings with RGE." "I told him where he could insert his disk and haven't spoken a word to him since."
In fact you took two parts of two posts, removed words and glued them together making them look like one post and removing the reason for the last sentence. Here is the exact post from which you took the second sentence.
"I'm sorry, but I have no idea. I have had no contact with AS since the day he told me that, for the third edition of BJA, we would have to retype the entire manuscript from scratch, since he refused to give me (the author and the copyright holder!) a copy of the disk on which all the material for BJA2 resided. On that day, I told him where he could insert his disk and haven't spoken a word to him since. "
I think anyone can see from the actual post the reason for Don's frustration. Imagine all the work that Don put in to removing every possible typo and error from hundreds of pages of text only to be told that for the final edition it would all have to be retyped from scratch. How would you feel?
In your cheyry-picking, you also removed statements from Viktor highly complimentary of Curt and Arnold.
