>>>>>I know that I am probably going to be sorry for this, but I just cannot keep quiet about it any longer.

>>>>>I didn't disregard the warning. As I said, I never gave a direct UT reference after the e-mail message which was quite rude, if you ask my opinion.

>>>>>You are entitled to your opinion.

>>>>>What are you calling inappropriate behavior I really would like to understand, because I quite often can be carried away with the problem and can not see my words in the same light others do. Yet yesterday I re-read almost all my messages in the forum and I see only two potential problematic cases which I tried to explain.
>>>>>
>>>>>If the site management had to send you e-mail warnings, then the behavior that they warned you about was inappropriate for that site. That is just the way it is. Your arguing with every body and his brother trying to get them to agree that your behavior was not inappropriate does nothing to change that. As a matter of fact, since Eric received numerous complaints about you from several long time members of Foxite, he really had no alternative but to ban you when the complaints continued even after you received a warning.

>>>>Sounds like there are a lot of egos on that site.

>>>There are super egos on any forum. In reality they are gods and you must be in his/her favor to be accepted.
>>>
>>>Where do banned UT members go? I have not looked up the rules on the UT on “mentioning other forums”. We could have a lot of people in trouble here on the UT for possibly mentioning other sites! :)

>>>I am glad that Friday is close at hand. Perhaps next week will bring a clean slate and we can forget about all of this. I am ready for a pint or two of Guinness. Next week I will be 65 and really hate to see this type of problem. Some people live for it and others...?

>>Well, happy almost birthday. Shouldn't you be retiring soon?

>As a friend of mine said when asked about retirement, “I am going to get into my pickup truck, drive into the desert, to enjoy my Republican Pension and never to be seen again. Then I will enjoy my Republican Medical Care – don’t get sick”!

>I still have to wait ten months after my 65th birthday before I will receive my first social security check. The good news is that my social security will not pay my rent. The bad news? You don’t want to know! :)
>
>By the time you are 65 and eligible for social security (full payment without deduction for working), you might have to work until you are 90 before you receive it! :)
>
>Seriously, I hope to be in a position to retire from my present job which is stressful, in less than one year. Too many people have died of heart attacks during the seven years I have been here. I hope to work at something I like such as teaching music.

>Trying to live in Silicon Valley costs money. So I have to consider moving, which bothers me as my family came to San Francisco in 1849. I have many family members here.


My friend in Sonoma was telling me the other day about a house there that just went on the market. Two bedrooms, one bath, built in 1920. Asking price: $1.2 million. That's surreal even for Northern California.
