It would be hard for Moose or anybody to produce your quotes from threads that have been removed from the forum by your employer.

Even harder still if they really didn't exist in those removed threads, or any others, the first place, eh HT? (grin)

In another matter, I believe you are wrong regarding Peter getting his HHH name back. Brad unregistered me and I re-registered with my old name, HOLDTHE.

I'll take your word for that. My impression was that the moderator might also choose to exclude the "persona" of a repeat offender. I thought that's why Peter was forced to return last time as "His High Holiness", because the "His Holiness" persona had been excluded when he was removed. I don't know if that action has been taken on this occasion. If it hasn't then the sanctions against HHH are even less severe this time around, isn't that so? Even if that action HAS been taken, what's so wrong with him re-registering simply as Peter Osborne? Everyone knows that's who he is anyway, and his own name can have no negative connotations the way that HHH undoubtedly did.
One might be tempted to think, from our previous heated exchanges, that I believe Peter should be excluded from the Forum. Not so. In fact, when I was offered the opportunity to have him excluded at eTeamz, for negative posts directed specifically toward me, I quite deliberately declined. That is NOT the way I operate, especially not with regard to a fellow official no matter what I may think of him personally. It is my understanding that Peter has NOT been excluded at all; only de-registered.
One might also be tempted to think that I believe ALL of Peter's posts are worthless. Not so, even if I might have suggested that they were after some provocation and in the heat of the moment. To claim that ALL of Peter's posts have no intrinsic value is to unreasonably ignore much of his experience and perspective. As angry as his posts make me some times, I could not remain a reasonable person if I failed to acknowledge that occasionally they have real value for some officials.
Cheers,
