Note that he uses only a partial quote of what I wrote, thus taking the quote out of context.

Here is the full quote of what I wrote with the partial quote Stauss chose to use, highlighted in yellow:

"Then there is the puzzling involvement of Colby Phillips in becoming an administrator in a Facebook operation setup to influence OPA politics. The Progress dismisses out of hand any idea that a revenge motive might be involved. Difficult to say, but given Phillips' resignation as a high-level OPA employee after filing charges against the current OPA president, charges dismissed by the board, such a motive should not be dismissed."

Stauss notes Colby states she was not seeking any revenge or payback when she joined Esther Diller in creating a Facebook page to influence OPA board politics. I will stick with my original comment that such a motive should not be dismissed out of hand, as Stauss suggests, regardless of any protestations to the contrary.
