Hi Jeff,

--SNIP--
   In summary, I guess I’d say that (as I read it) Timothy felt you calling for banning or some other action being taken to be little more than trying to start trouble, based on your actions in past posts (somewhat like you accused him of). I think it was his way of saying you shouldn’t be one to ask for such, since in his view, you have been at least as bad, if not worse, than those you’re calling for action against. Rather paralleling the “people in glass houses shouldn’t throw bricks” saying, I suppose.

Thanks. You’ve summed up almost exactly what I meant much better than I did.... with one slight exception: the above statement is not strictly true. While it was a secondary intent it was certainly not my primary intent to introduce the pot to the kettle. If I hadn’t had an example from Mark himself I would have used a different one.

   I think it might be time we all just try to forget (or forgive) past transgressions and start clean from this point forward (which means both the referenced two year old thread *and* the whole Eric mess). It may be the only way to begin getting Lugnet back to a more friendly environment.
