I think that occassionally we ALL get hung up on a topic and push it a little too far as we let emotion run the keyboard.
Like you, I like this place and the tight knit loyalty that is here. We are going to get the 1 or 2 Julians that come in and feel unwanted. These people that think creating multiple screen names and coming in here to play is entertaining don't understand that the majority of us have been around the block with that crap and it gets old real quick. He was looking for attention and got it. Just in the wrong way.
I agree with what you are saying and that's what I tried and tried and tried to get julian to do. Leave it alone and he never would and he NEVER WOULD no matter how long he was on here.
He said all he wanted was for Mark to admit to all the bs and he would quit posting about it.
It would not have ended it. It just would have been something else.
By now means am I the brightest bulb in the pack, but at least I know how to get along with people and if the majority of the people didn't like my attitude I would change it or leave on my own. He was never gonna do either one.
