Quote from OPTIONAL777:
Nope, I don't agree.
You started out with a decent premise, and a bit of an apology, with an attempt to take the high road. You unwillingness to keep your promise, speaks volumes.
I know you are correct. But after the initial "here we go again" response, I have made my best effort to address a question by Longshot, I responded to you and Bobcathy about the place of humor in these forums, etc.
I think under the circumstances, with relentless needling from "you know who", I have done a fairly good job of ignoring the provocation. But, since it is always easier (and usually more accurate) to be objective than subjective, I will defer to your advice and opinion, and cease and desist from further posting on this thread. I wish Baron would not only close it, but completely delete it. I have once before asked him to delete ALL my posts but he said it was not possible. Easiest thing for me without a doubt would to abandon the rs7 handle and start fresh. But on the other hand, we become quite recognizable in our thoughts and writing styles. When I posted my adventures in Chicago and Monaco under the alias "Menace", Don Bright PMd me right away that he could tell "menace" was "rs7". So a change of name wouldn't do the trick. And a "one trick pony" like our sleuthing friend could ONLY do what he or she or it does. Never has anyone had such a narrow focus and obvious intent.
My apology does however stand. And now I must apologize again for even responding by inference to my antagonist. If you read the whole thread, I think I made a reasonable effort to avoid any response. But we are all human, and sometimes it is hard to do what we promise. Still, I did make the effort! This despite the extraordinary attempt to provoke me into direct responses. Look at the posts. Count (if anyone normal has the patience) the amount of times someone named me specifically. How many posts were directed at me, and at discrediting me. Then count how many times I responded. How many times I mentioned this person by name. But still, I defer to you, Optional777, because I respect your opinion and your objectivity. So there you have it.
See you all in the next thread that catches my interest. If at all.
Peace,
rs7
