I've given up trying to read the nonsense Panshin is posting in AFH right now, but something caught my eye as I was skimming the "dishonor" thread:

"It's an old pattern of yours, too. Just last year you boasted in
NitroForum of having called me names in afh and then run away and hidden."

Now, this is so uncharacteristic of my behavior and the way I think about it (actually the idea that I would care enough to be playing such mindgames is croggling) that I can't think what he means by this.

Anybody have any idea what thread and/or context he might be referring to? I'm at a loss. (Considering the amount of effort I spend in disengaging from the Tar Baby that is Panshin, I might have made some relatively more indiscreet remark than usual about it in NitroForum. I thought we were en famille there.)

I would ask him, but that simply engages him in prolonging the nonsense. And since he can't seem to realize I never responded to his so-called challenge because all the information he demanded was in the thread itself, there seems really no point in doing anything there.

He might be confusing you with someone else. He seems to categorize people in groups and expect everyone in each "group" he created to think and behave the same way.

I've run into some people like him, usually intensely earnest blowhards with fragile egos who positively provoke nasty responses, and then criticize those whom they managed to provoke. <wry grin> I read RAH, and you might notice that I disappear from any thread where Panshin shows up. That is why; I simply don't care to get into a discussion with him.

The first time I saw Panshin show up was in a.f.h. years ago and after a short time I made my first and last response:
