Quite frankly I think you are all making too much of this: too much "conspiracy."
We have lost two people from this board. One contributed a lot, but became way too arrogant and began treating it like his own personal fiefdom. When we lost him, I lost as well, because I believe I lost someone who could have been a good friend. Unfortunately, I do not believe he knows what friendship really is; it became too much of a "us vs. them" syndrome.
As for the other, I think he started out well even though he seemed to be a little less than what he presented. I have no issue with that, but he quickly became part of that "us vs. them" mentality and that is wrong. We chased him... and that was wrong, too. He did not play us; we played him... and we played him right out of here. His later attitude toward Reno and Benteen was designed to upset everyone here who took a more rational approach to both those historical figures. He turned our game upside down and played it on us. He did so, because it was his only option.
I am not proud of any of the nonsense that went on. And quite frankly, I should have dropped off that PM almost as soon as it began. To me it was a disgrace.
Best wishes, Fred.

Anybody who seriously believes that "Scarface" only had a "later problem" with Reno and Benteen or that he was a problem created on this board seriously needs to re-read Montrose's "Flank Nonsense" thread between 9-11 January, before any PMs about his trolling.
Can we all now just please move on? Life is too short.
WO

Hint: If you want everyone to move on from a topic, quit talking about it!

Diane,
Don't blame me.....a few days ago I even answered a very old thread about WW2 deaths per nation purely to try and remove this "Thank you" thread as the latest one displaying in the "Around the Campfire" board.....
WO

Let this thread die.
In the recent emotional debates, we lost some decent folks, and others who needed a time out. Mind boggling to think we need to apply methods designed for 3 year olds to adults.
Treat others as you wish to be treated, to misquote a carpenter from Galilee.
Very Respectfully

Yes I agree Montrose, you can get bitten even when you try and calm things down, so I wont be bothering again.
I will miss you, Carl and Steve.
