<Without listing specific rules (and besides,
you can probably guess which ones based on
allegations, accusations, personal stupidities, etc.), I'd say
about 10% of the rules that "NACutie" has posted over
the five updates pertain to me
directly.>

Your ego and sense of self-importance never fail to
amaze me. It seems as if you are attempting to gain
points with people through self-deprecating humour.
Whenever behaviour is criticised, you are quick to jump in
and essentially say "I did it!" You act like you are
proud of it.

<I suppose I could be flattered
that I'm considered enough of a menace to society that
someone has to try and give me subtle hints, but trust me
on this one: you're not helping. For one thing, if
you have a problem with someone, the best thing to do
most of the time is tell them directly
[...]>

I know a number of women on the circuit who have
tried being subtle with you. That did not work. They
then tried being direct with you. That did not work
either. Finally, they attempted to get their point across
even more bluntly and directly; practically beating
you over the head with your transgressions. According
to them, even that has yet to work; your behaviour
towards them has not changed.

<[segment re:
Matt]>

Ironic -- or hypocritical? -- that you would display the
very same behaviour for which you criticise NACutie.
At the very least, NACutie does not name names and
call them "jerk[s]" in public
fora.

<However, I've handled each violation individually and am
at least trying (if not succeeding) to fix things
along those lines. That said, if there are any other
rules I've broken, it would be nice if I were told
directly.>

There is a good reason you are not succeeding. It is
because, according to the women involved, your words do
not match your actions. You apologise with one
breath, and are back to hitting on them with crude sexual
references with the next breath. Again, as to being told
directly: Apparently, you are told directly, and quite
often to boot.

<Quizbowl is an organization
built around facts [...]>

Which facts would
you like revealed? The number of women on the circuit
you have harassed, or perhaps the techniques? Or
maybe the number of people you have driven away from
the circuit, and why? I am quite sure there are those
on the circuit who would be happy to oblige with the
revelation of said facts.
