>I am with you that John should be allowed back but that wasn't all there was to it. He was just plain rude to people. Rude and arrogant. Some are going to find it difficult, if not impossible, to forgive him. That is something he brought on himself. That said, I think he should be given another chance.

Mike,

Man, he had balls ... hope he still has ;-)

I haven't read all his posts, but I wonder how much of his being rude was the result of what other people had responded. Was his rudeness - to a certain extent - a result of that ?

There was a time that TerryT signed all his replies to jvp with XX. Jvp asked a few times whether TerryT was a chick ;-)
Then, TerryT got 'carried away'


Apart from the content, his posts had a comfortable entertainment factor. I have enjoyed every post of his I have read
