        Oh, really? Where exactly in the above post was this supposed
"backpedaling" to which you refer?
        No, you're just up to the very same game you've been playing
for the last two days. I simply stated the facts as they are and have
been for me personally. As for demonstrating ignorance supposedly, I
wonder how many people may have actually gotten that impression from
your intentionally mischaracterizing what I have said to suit your own
agenda of trying to discredit me however possible regardless of the
actual content of my statements. You have done this repeatedly for the
last two days, in spite of what I've actually said and regardless of
what it was in reference to, and making clear in the process what
you're actually all about, so spare me more in the way of your
anticipated manure at this point. I've already got a clothespin on my
nose due to the stench you're giving off, so you're not going to
affect my sense of smell one bit.

        How long have you and others been a part of this little
clique, I wonder. I'd wager for quite a long time, whereas I'm
perceived as an outsider who has no qualms about expressing my gripes,
and must therefore be vanquished regardless of the facts.

> Have you noticed that not one person here has agreed with your
> accusations?

         Presumably, any person that would have agreed with me left a
long time ago because they didn't like the way this place was run. But
I know that I am by no means the only person who has complained about
how this pace was moderated.

        Okay, stop right there smartass, and point to one. I would
really like to see it because you have gone out of your way to try and
put words in my mouth, and at this point I really have had enough of
your crap.

> Do you have anything CONSTRUCTIVE to add to the group?

        Here's one for starters: Why don't you just get lost? You are
feeding into this thread and have been doing so at every turn while
all the while whining about the nature of it. If you don't like the
nature of the discussion, don't let the door hit _you_ in the ass on
the way out.

How's that?
