Re: Jerry Newport, thank you very much for Mozart And The Whale.

To the rest of this list, DMG excluded. I am not responding to

any message from the person who posted below. I have my reasons and

they are valid ones. He has been contacting me, uninvited, for almost

eleven years. Recently, after I told him not to contact me anymore, he

called my first publisher, Future Horizons, and harrassed them.

Just because I am well known, relatively, in our community, does

not obligate me to pay attention to, answer email from or talk on the

phone to ANY person. I have my rights.

DMG needs to learn to respect my rights. OTOH, I think he would

benefit from being on this list and others, as I have encouraged him

to do in the past, instead of stimming on forcing some " friendship "

with me.

Perhaps in some future time, I will allow contact with this

person. I don't dislike him but I want him to show me some respect and

the best way he can do that is to stop hounding me.

I really am very sorry that I have been disrespectful to Jerry

Newport. Gladly I'll give him all the space he needs. The

isolation I feel is horrible, just plain awful. If there are those

here who want me gone, I'll comply without contest. :'(

You're right, Ari, one person should not be focused on. As far as the

Unabomber carrying our diagnosis goes, I really have no idea.

Asperger's individuals are not regularly thought of as committers of

such heinous crimes.

Now on to other matters. Today, I have been re-recording with the

Sound Recorder program on this computer my singing to my female AS

friend the 1980 Lennon song, " Woman. " My hope for becoming her

spouse still runs high. Don't know why, but my mind is racing writing

all of this. Sorry to sound like I am playing dumb to everything else

you are talking about.
