From: [log in to unmask] (MR WILLIAM L HUGHES JR.) << Dr. Skinner, I am upset over this insult to me you sent over the B-LISt. I am a taxpayer of this State and I attended your hobbist course you conducted in Memphis earlier this year. If you had a beef with me you should have E-mailed me directly instead of tring to humilate me publicly. Need I remind you that you are a public employee of this state. You may hide behind UT but my tax money pays your salary. You ccan take this any way you want, but I want an apology. If you do not I will be forced to complain to the state over your use of a taxpayer funded computer system to insult a taxpayer. >> Relax, Bill. You said your piece, he said his. Both of you have a right to free speech -- Fifth Ammendment, Right? I didn't consider you "humiliated," when I read Dr. Skinner's piece. Just a difference of opinion. Just words. I've been slapped around a lot worse than that. I survived. Some would find beekeepers "rugged individualists." Others would say "opinionated SOB's" I'm pleased to wear both labels. I'd encourage you to let it go. [log in to unmask] Dave Green, PO Box 1200, Hemingway, SC 29554 (Dave & Jan's Pollination Service, Pot o'Gold Honey Co.)
