Yea, I got some Rod...
Re #1: I suppose it might matter what YOU define as "specific". As we've all (well, 95%+ of us) come to know, JohnP can be highly obtuse when it comes to "details", along the same line of your former President's sub-defining "is".
Let's HYPOTHETICALLY say the JohnP was considered to be a "troll". Would stating that be enough of a "specific reason" or would you then need the message #s deemed to qualify him as such?
Re #2: That's interesting (but nothing more). Having just read the UT's clarifications document it could conceivably be that those who submitted complaints were informed of a decision? But my question to you is why does this matter?... and especially to you?
Re #3: Firstly, and again, JohnP has amply demonstrated a way of twisting things and interpreting things in particularly quaint ways. Secondly, surely "harsh" and "baseless" are subject to interpretation (JohnP's usual fine-toothed-comb might find one odd word and use that the debase the whole, as he does regularly). Why are you so sure this is all true?... Why does it matter to you?
Re #4: Now that's a delightful one! Whay is it anybody's business but JohnP's and UT Managements?!?! JohnP would be so quick to pounce if it were any other way! I consider your attempts to get some response to be baiting, pure and simple.
Re #5: It's quite clear that you have a conflict of interest here, this statement more serving YOU than in any way aimed at "helping" JohnP. YOUR VFP-related web site may not be a business, but I quite definitely see UT as a business. Like any business, it gets customers for one of two possible reasons: (1) it provides a GOOD SERVICE; (2) it is the only game in town. And guess what... "business" and "community" go together just fine in countless arenas and did so long before there was a Microsoft or a FoxPro or a CompuServe! Does it bother you (as it sure appears to) that UT appears to be succeeding as a business?
Re #6: This from the very model of respectfulness himself! 'Nuf said!

Rod, JohnP has simply found another voice - yours. Get over it and get back to work!
