I am saying that Susan Garvin never referred to DODie as Doug "yer fat
black ass" Holtsinger.

Uhm, you wrote the attribution that you are referring to.  I don't
think the fact that you wrote something proves that Susan said
something.  You need to post the original article, in which case you
will see that Susan never wrote what you claim.

I'm sorry.  I thought someone who claims to have a background in
mathematics would understand that propositions and assertions need to
be supported, and behave accordingly.  'Because I said so' never
counted very highly when I was trying to prove something.

You are an ass for making Chaney/Hall apologize.  Happy?

I'm glad to see that you are now advocating this position.

If you have, after buying three cars from the same company, found
they're all lemons, why would you listen to anyone who would try to
convince you to buy a fourth?

The same thing applies to this issue.
