Did he?  I guess I missed it, as I have stopped reading Herman's posts.

I am prepared to argue with Herman about the "De Wael school"  
prescription for disclosing non-agreements, or about the ethics of  
the undisclosed "Herman 1H bid", until, as they say, the cows come  
home.  I will even confess to perhaps having played some part in  
extending some of these discussions interminably when there seems to  
be nothing more to be said.  One should note, however, that those  
arguments, overwrought though they may sometimes be, are about bridge  
laws, which is our chosen subject.

This is the internet.  Insults happen.  We may not like the general  
lack of civility we find on the net, but we either live with it or  
leave.  But there is one line we do not cross.  AFAIC, Herman crossed  
that line this morning when I received a post in which he requested  
my help "to get this poster expelled".  Those were not insults; they  
were threats.  "Apologize or face the consequences"?!  Sorry, Herman,  
welcome to my killfile (you're all by yourself there).

Meanwhile, if someone cares and wants to tell me which of my posts  
was being referred to, I'll see what I can do for a law number.
