"is the same as"

[Dr. John E. McLaughlin]

A couple of days ago I made the comment that Pat Ryan had been kicked off of
two lists.  That statement was incorrect and I have apologized to Pat
privately for it.  I had mixed him up with another member of the Evolution
of Language list who was kicked off.  I had conflated my memories of a very
vehement discussion concerning Pat's views on racist determinism in
language, which was quashed by the moderator, with another incident which
was not quite as vehement, but became even more obnoxiously insulting to
linguists.  Pat kindly reminded me of the events I was confusing.  Pat has
only been kicked off of one list.
