First off, who is Gentleman Jones? Tobin Jones is the guy who writes all these hateful response to my articles back when I was an editorialist at the University of Hawaii's newspaper Ka Leo (http://www.kaleo.org/)
I decided to contact him in a civilized manner about his letters, its hateful tone, and that if he has any concerns, he can discuss them in a civilized manner!
I also mentioned, in the interest of honest disclosure, that I replied to his rants on my blog
Here is his reply! Notice that he doesn't want civilized conversations!
Whatever. I've been so many places since then where they'd run you out of town; around the US and internationally. You've been sitting here forever. I've been to two countries, 29 states and lived in 6 of them. You have no real-world experience. You have no frames of reference. Is your life THAT barren and devoid of meaning that you have to harass me about some old stuff? You sound more childish than the kids I worked with.
Grow up. I never answered your blog because I thought it was stupid. I figured in SEVEN YEARS, you'd get a life and get over it.
I guess not. Get a life. I'm done entertaining you. You are truly sad and pathetic.
Now, let's take his argument apart!

WOW! Tobin Jones is superior to me because he's "been to 2 countries and 29 states"! So what? You don't even know where I've been so shut up!
He claims he's been to place where they'd "run me out of town". He's the one who can't stay in one place for too long! So whose the one who's been "run out of town". He irritates everyone everywhere he goes, they get fed up with him, they stand up to him! He can't handle people not kissing his @$$ that he runs away! And who's been run out of town!
After I started this blog, Tobin left Hawaii, and ran away to "2 countries and 29 states" and his mentor Dr Foltz ran away from Hawaii and went back to Wisconsin! Sounds like I "ran them out of town". All because I finally took the initiative and publicly stood up to their bullying! They start trouble with people, but as soon as someone stands up to them, they run away like cowards. Because that's what they are! They take advantage of other people's generosity, and when people can't take it anymore, they run to the dean, they refuse to answer any allegations, they refuse to refute their critics! Like they say "if you want to throw mud, don't run like a coward when they throw mud at you"
When I answered back to Tobin Jone's hatemail, guess what? My message is blocked! It's like he started throwing mud again, but puts a defensive shield, so he won't have to answer to them! If you're gonna throw mud, then at least have to courage to answer back to my replies!
You have no real-world experience. You have no frames of reference
You don't even know what kind of experiences I had in my life, so shut up!
Is your life THAT barren and devoid of meaning that you have to harass me about some old stuff?
"Harrass me"? You started the whole trouble with your uncivilized rants with your phony accussations! Me defending myself from your accussations is NOT harrassment!
You sound more childish than the kids I worked with.
So, are you telling me that having non-leftist opinions are "childish"? Is my contacting you and asking you to discuss our differences in a civilized manner"childish"? If there's anyone who's childish, it's Tobin Jones. He throws a tantrum when confronted with an opposing opinion, mocks those who stand up to him, and gets mad at those who ask for civilized discussions!
Grow up.
Grow up? I'm bigger than you, Tobin Jones! You lucky I didn't use my size on you when I had the chance!
I never answered your blog because I thought it was stupid
Yet, you replied to nearly every Ka Leo editorial I wrote! When I was at Ka Leo, writers weren't allowed to write a rebuttal to their critics! So you were free to reply with uncivilized rants with impunity! You made phony accussations, put words in my mouth, and implied I had no freedom of speech! Yet, when I started my blog, you don't want to answer back? Why? Because the rules of the game have changed I can instantly reply to your BS, and you can't stand people fighting back
Its' like the bully who punches his target in the face, and when his targets punches back, all of a sudden, the bully doesn't want to fight anymore!
I figured in SEVEN YEARS, you'd get a life and get over it. I guess not.
Your last ad hominem letter to Ka Leo was written in 2003. That was FIVE years ago, NOT seven!
Get over it? That's what people say when confronted by their targets in a civilized manner! Instead of answering to the allegations, they whine "get over it"
Like the bully who punches someone, the targets punches back, and the bully said "get over it"! You start the trouble, then don't give me this "get over it" crap! You can't handle people defending themselves from your attacks! You think I should be submissive and silent! You think I should bow down and kiss your behind! Instead of facing it like a man, you take the cowardly route and say "get over it".
You ran away, you don't refute anything I say, you have no substance! You're constantly on the run! So it's time for me to declare victory!
