My "feud" with JT began when I made fun of a goofy "scientific
breakthrough" press release from MIT, with no reference to JT. His
alma mater is apparently sacred to him, and he took it as a personal
insult. He responded by saying obscene and obviously untrue things
about my wife.

I then called him an asshole, which I think remains an accurate

I posted the actual sequence of events. It didn't quite happen in the
sequence or topics that Larkin relates. Not that you would be
surprised that Larkin prevaricates.

The following post link incidentally includes a synopsis of the _true_

Sure, why not?

Larkin said he was only fooling around, so if Jim took it wrong and
flamed back hard, Larkin could easily have defused the situation - at
very little cost to himself - by explaining that he was only fooling
around.

If he wanted to, that is, but that's not how he works.

What he likes to do is snidely push people's buttons in the hope that
they'll respond in anger and then, once he's created a situation which
is no longer tenable, for him, he ducks out and later on tries to use
responses which were posted in anger against the posters who opposed
him.

Just another control freak at work.

Hey, you are supposed to be killfiling me, and anyone who responds to
me.

Still can't get that to work?

If you think Phil is loony, then you don't have enough time in grade
here, or technical expertise, to be thinking of yourself as a judge.

Besides, if you really thought that Phil was a loon, instead of
extending a helping hand, why would you want to wind him up and cause
him unwarranted pain and a greater retreat into loonness?

Perhaps to assuage your own sense of inadequacy by trying to bring
your betters down to your level?

Homing envelope?

As far as your vendetta against JT goes, here you are with a dead shop
which you can't even use to verify data you've begged for and, yet
again, choose to besmirch those whom you don't/can't understand.

Sure, why not?

Larkin said he was only fooling around, so if Jim took it wrong and
flamed back hard, Larkin could easily have defused the situation - at
very little cost to himself - by explaining that he was only fooling
around.

I wasn't fooling around. I was commenting on the huge numbers of
press-release scientific-breakthrough cures-cancer types of idiotic
press releases that MIT generates. That never amount to anything.

This sort of thing, over and over:

he'd take the insult personally, you didn't couch your post in a tone

But, then, that's just you; a control freak always stirring the pot

If he is proud of these silly MIT press releases, he is indeed getting

I don't know why, but I guess you don't see what incredible sensitivity for
the school this requires. And I can't understand how anyone could assume
that anyone would be less sensitive about their wife than their school.

Calling someone a pimp for his future wife is orders of magnitude more
serious.

When Genome made a despicable comment about Jim's late son, Jim simply
replied that Genome would get no more assistance from him.

So the difference is obviously that this built up over a longer time, and
therefore it's not just because of isolated comments.

But the pimp remark stands out from the rest.

There is something missing from that chronology, but what is there is more

Press releases come from the PR department, so he didn't even criticize MIT
