Edit: Mark Bailey responded to my email from last night, and we are communicating. I hope to resolve this without inflaming any conflicts going forward.

Dear Sam,

I wrote a comment here last night asking to clarify why you feel the need to insult me in this video, calling me a fly on shit. This morning I see that you deleted my comment without answering my question. Why did you do it? Why did you insult me first, then when asked why, you delete the comment? You explained it in case of a few people you likewise characterized, but did not bother in my case. You simply used my image and the name of my publication to make a rather silly middle school level remark. This is unprofessional to say the least. I have written to your website contact email asking for clarification of this uncalled for behavior. I do not understand the reason for hostility, because I found in other respects your work useful and recommended you to my readers in the past. I definitely do not hate you. I am happy to agree to disagree and I am happy for people to think independently, and not have the same ideas as I do. I feel that's a civilized way to interact as grown ups. However, as I mentioned in my previous comment which you deleted, I absolutely refuse any attempts at bullying and compelling my speech, and consider any such attempts a serious aggression. I deal with such aggressors accordingly, that's been my consistent policy on my SS page. Liking some post on the internet that you don't like does not make me a narcissist, does not mean I hate you and certainly does not deserve public insults. I hope this is a misunderstanding on your part, and you would respond like an adult, instead of deleting comments. You can contact me at latypova@hotmail.com, and I will be happy to address any of your concerns.
