You did and this was indeed pointed out by Anton under the previous CC.

Your implication that I am lying is what is not OK here.

It's on the mailing list archive (e.g. the mail quoting a certain Lebanese 
terrorist organisation).

So you did attack the VDD conference organisers, and through them, the hosts, 
which is exactly what the quote says.

There is both recorded evidence of it and earlier admission from you, which 
makes that sentence a lie.

It's in the mailing archive.

Since there is no insult, that sounds like defamatory accusations from you 
against me.

Defending the indefensible and/or supporting bullies is likely to get yourself 
counter-attacked, unsurprisingly.

Also, I see what you did there - cutting out the reference from the original 
mail to obscure the evidence.

That sounds like a defamatory libellous false accusation to me.

That sounds like a defamatory libellous false accusation to me.

I already warned that it was illegal under French business law, did I not? 
Does that not make it a problem?

And yet other people already rightfully called you out for it.

This is gaslighting.

It should be obvious.
