Really? Then would it be safe to assume that you and Todd are "ok" with each
other? And if this is so, then why did he ban you?

True, but has it worked? What was your driving force to post here that has
changed? The dates on the memorials? I am kinda missing what your gaol was....

Not at all, I do put up good fights when I see something worth fighting for.
To me Lego is not really one of them. And as far as Todd goes - I have seen
him be a stubborn sob and refuse to see other viewpoints. I have seen him
allow his friends to jump on others and ignore it, but he will jump on you
if you do what he lets his friends do. So what is the point of working with
him? I will not change him, and would rather not waste my time trying to do
it, when others have failed. I like this site, what he has done, just think
he is a little too hard-headed sometimes.

But yet, I am not looking for 'various others' views. And if you ever do get
an identical set of views, that would be a rare find.

About the name thing, why dont you just do a setup for a new login name? If
you are banned how are you getting around that? I am not clear on how
spoofing another name works. Did you get banned again tonight? I am missing
this also.
