Not even anywhere close, Bruce.
And many times I am not erasing anything.
I think it is odd that you know about what Neil did & do not see an issue there.
Hmmm, I guess that I do "know" what Neil did. To a degree, I suppose, having been here through that time period. Matter of fact, I've been here through a lot of things. Seen a lot of stuff pass thru the 1's an 0's of this here forum.
Funny part is that I see the value most folks bring here. I've seen the good and the bad in many an argument. I observed the "Last Great CTE War" first hand. Many of our best and most respected members were involved at one point or another. Most of them still post here, some if only occasionally. Despite all of that, most acknowledge each other and their participation here, even if some do so begrudgingly.
I've seen conversations between heated (and in-theory "hated", tho I dislike how easily that term gets thrown around) members here. And I've seen them actually communicate. Many have met in person, despite their online disputes. Communicate. Acknowledge a point being made by the other.
And they all get it. They all belong here, as part of the community.
I'm not lecturing you, or chastising, which is the term you used last time. I'm just pointing out the facts. Yes, the facts "as I see them". I can't point them out any other way. I go out of my way to try and be the voice of moderation, to be diplomatic, to try and see both sides of a given discussion. Dare I say it....I try to be "objective".
It's not a part of being a bully. Or going along with the majority. I can mix it up if need be, and I've done so before, many times. I may not be able to run balls, but I can run sentences rather nicely. And not in "wall-of-text" mode, nor in zen-like double speak. I say what I mean and not ask that the reader figure it out.
I'm sorry that you feel the need to fight here. And make no mistake, that's what you do. You go right after anyone and anything that has popular support here. For some unknown reason. It's all well and good to question things, but to be like a dog with a bone about it, months later, well that's what gets especially tiresome.
Going after RandyG tops that list. RandyG hasn't said a cross word to anyone here in all my time as a member of this forum. Helps any and all who ask, in a very gentle and constructive manner. He is the last person I can imagine anyone having an issue with, yet you continue to hound him. And remember, he is a friend of the Mighty CJ, too.....if CJ likes him, why don't you?
I really hope you find a way to coexist with the rest of the forum, tho I doubt that you are interested in doing so.
Proceed to tell me how naive I am, in some condescending manner.
