I don't normally take these things public, but this one deserves it. I just got the following note:

sorry vladimir, I just don't appreciate your negative and judgmental slams ... avoid hammering on me ... if you wish to avoid being impaled ... metaphorically speaking ... I am genuinely sorry for stooping to name calling ... you came into my site and slammed on me, and blocked me from being able to reply to your comments on your posts, because you are hiding behind your computer screen ...


First, I didn't block you from doing anything. The comments/reply at Blogster are totally fucked up. Ask anyone. Don't blame me for their incompetence. You could've replied to me there -- privately, publicly, doesn't matter to me -- if you had a problem with what I wrote and wanted to discuss it. Instead, you set your blog on private and then came here and resumed your name-calling.

Second, that "negative and judgmental slam" was in response to what you wrote to a good friend of mine.


Martin doesn't need me to defend him -- he did a pretty good job of putting you in your place. What you wrote to him was indefensible. It also shows that maybe you're not quite the peace and love kind of guy you think you are. Telling someone to "eat shit" and calling him a wimp is pretty bad, but it's especially rich from someone who's left the country instead of staying to fight for his own beliefs.

So I called you out for that. The NSA, CIA, ESPN, and the PTA aren't looking for you; neither are the police in Alpine or any SRSU officials. If they were, you're hardly doing yourself a favor by keeping any kind of profile.

I also figured you were a chickenshit who would go private so I took a screenshot of it (further testimony to how fucked up Blogster is -- the graphics are all over the place in some browsers). Thanks for proving me right and doing something so I could post it. I knew it would be just a matter of time -- a week?

I won't accept an apology from anyone whose actions were against a friend of mine unless the apology has first been made to and accepted by my friend. Have you apologized to Martin yet? Or do you think you can push me around and make me out to be the bad guy or harass me on my blog and by sending me notes like this?

I'm not hiding. I'm here and active in my country and its political system. I'm not the one half the world away cowering in fear because I think someone is out to get me. I'm not the one on the other side of the planet -- on foreign soil -- launching political attacks against people who are here fighting on any side of the political spectrum. I'm not the one half a world away telling senior citizens to "eat shit" and mocking their interests.

You are.

Think about that while you're doing your "energy work." Whatever the fuck that is.
