I have been a friend of Hugh Myers for over twenty-five years.

He does not own a computer and certainly would not publish unpleasant

Nobody is suggesting that Hugh Myers has been involved in any way in
this discussion or has sent emails under a pseudonym.

Just to explain what this is all about, about one month ago, I posted
that Narciso Rabell Mendez was an Independentista.

John Jomp replied that Narciso Rabell Mendez was not a terrorist, that
he was a "decent man".

Now, I have had extensive dealings with Narciso Rabell Mendez and based
upon my experiences with him he is in no way a decent man. He is a very
obnoxious and difficult person, a person best avoided.

However, I prefered to forget about the whole thing and drop the matter
entirely.

John Jomp on the other hand has insisted on keeping this matter going.
For the past month, every time I have posted anything on any subject
whatever, John Jomp has jomped into the conversation and called me a
liar.

This has happened more than 40 times in the past month and has caused
problems not only for me but for other readers because those other
readers have naturally assumed that John Jomp has specific knowledge
and information about whatever subject was being discussed.

John Jomp is obviously a sick and disturbed man because anybody who
would do this over and over again more than 40 times in one month over
a matter of really no consequence to himself, is not normal.

So, I just ignored this crazy lunatic and did not respond to his
postings. Finally, I got tired of this and in the hope of ending the
conversation I posted that it was Hugh Myers who told me that Narciso
Rabell Mendez was an Independentista.

It is likely that Hugh Myers does not remenber telling me that because
he told me that twenty years ago and probably does not remember the
conversation. Hugh Myers did not even remember that I first met him in
the 1956 Eastern States Open in Washington DC.

However, I remember the conversation well because Narciso Rabell Mendez
was attacking me at that time.

However, it does not really matter whether Hugh Myers remembers this
conversation or not or even whether Narciso Rabell Mendez was an
Independentista or not because the fact is that I never called Narciso
Rabell Mendez a terrorist, although I admit to saying that John Jomp is
a crazy lunatic.
