I did not see that as a flame, but as a facetious question. I did not, however,
expect you to see the irony expressed or implied.

It would help if you labeled your often specious opinions and pronouncements as
moderator messages/decisions instead of allowing the rest of the world to
assume that it's just more of your futile attempts to bend intelligent people
to your viewpoint.

I insulted no one except in your fevered imagination. Ross has said he does not
go by the name "Otto" and wishes to be referred to as "Ross" or "Sauer".
Therefore use of "Otto" in the manner in which is is being used by the
over-aged schoolyard bullies is, in fact, bullying.

As makes no difference. I am going to take a vacation of unspecified length
from this trash heap you call POL_INC. Even the recent addition of Mark Lewis
as a poster has not served to raise the signal to noise ratio to an acceptable
level.

Perhaps after we get an actual moderator in this echo and not just some
opportunist who has an ideological axe to grind I may return. Or maybe before,
just to torque your jaws. Meanwhile, I have other and better things to do with
the time remaining to me on this whirling mud ball.

While I'm gone do, please, try to make up your mind if you're emulating Ulyanov
or Goebbels.

ENJOY!!!
