You're right, you are entitled, even if it's in bad taste and the original poster asked nicely that you wouldn't.
Yes, you do have a beef with Stan. Why you won’t admit it is beyond me but you do. I don’t care that you do, that’s your business. All I was asking, politely, was that you don’t include me or anything I write to bolster that. Not quite sure how I threw in with the others when I all I did was explain my stance and ask you to leave me out of it. There were no merits to debate from my point of view. It’s not debatable because I referred to “silent”, which I still believe to be true. If it’s not, so be it. I completely stayed out of all of this until you decided it was ok to quote me.
Where you’re wrong is, you assume because I wrote what I wrote that I was teaming up against you. Not true and strange to me you read it that way. I thought what I wrote was polite and succinct. Just leave me and what I write out. In all honesty, while you seem to think you’re above the fray, you’re more to blame than almost anyone for the animosity in these threads. Stepping back and going through these threads it’s apparent that you either jump in and pounce when you feel the time is right or wait for someone else to start and you come in to add fuel to the fire.
You were a pretty decent guy in person but whatever happens behind the keyboard has me right back to where I was before I met you. I’m also surprised but if you’re asking me to choose sides, I side with Hal and Stan all day everyday.
I don't ignore people but if you feel need then, by all means, place me on ignore as well.
