I hope you are just confused.
Yes, <blushes again> I was confused, and Skippy also pointed it out. Sorry
Richard... do not construe this as a Freudian slip or anything against you.
You are certainly NOT an easy target (for anyone) and, unlike many of
Robert's posts here, yours are usually well worth reading.
Anyone who would turn a colleague (or anyone else) in to the IRS (no
matter
how much you disliked them) is beneath contempt in my book.
It seemed to me that it wasn't about turning him in, it was about
showing RW that he was wrong. Probably though RW is still telling the
IRS that they are wrong and only RW can interpret this correctly.
The way I read it, they had an argument about it and Robert, in his usual
way, would not accept that he may have been mistaken. The colleague, in
support of his argument, then phoned the IRS to get clarification. ALL of
that is perfectly legitimate in my book. It is simply using an authoritative
source to support an argued position. It was AFTER this action still failed
to convince Robert (surprise, surprise) that the other party then apparently
dobbed him in. I find that reprehensible.
It was only an argument, and no matter how irritating someone is, the IRS
are the enemies of all of us :-)
I would love to be a fly on the wall when Robert makes his case to the
IRS... :-)
Pete.
