Ask anybody that knows me, I would never say anything behind someones back that I wouldn't say straight to his/her face. I don't beat around the bush and play clever word games, I simply say it like it is. You can either accept it or not, that's your choice. At least you will always know where you stand with me and there will never be any confusion as to what I think or believe. More than I can say for some.

>>>You all do it craftily, knowing hot-buttons and how to press them with "legal" (within the terms of the UT rules) words. You're following exactly the method used by the departed JVP with the exact same objective that he had - to get people so riled that they get kicked out!

>>>So I hold YOU and your two sidekicks RESPONSIBLE for Claude Fox's banning because you lit the fuse and kept it alight until the guy blew. Without you and the PA Crew no fuse would have been lit and no blowup would have happened.
