Baloney...and I wish I could say something stronger. You really don't know what you're talking about.I may have removed chatter from my prefs long ago and have no intention of adding it back but I did follow the link to the thread in question, where I saw a certain somebody sabotaging a thread in which Mike was participating pleasantly and fully in accord with Tracy's intent. Mike's error was not to ignore the saboteur like everybody else. There may well have been a series of events leading up to that, but as de la Rochefoucauld said, “quarrels would not last long if the fault were only on one side.”
A mob flunky once started throwing around quotations to Tony Soprano - Tony told the guy to take his quotations book and do something that was anatomically impossible. So it's OK to post a quotation from Tony Soprano but not from classical literature. LOL
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
