I didn't say YOU deleted the post; only that it was now deleted.

However, needling people over something so inocuous as creator of the longest thread, versus questioning someone's mental stability, aren't even in the same league. You vehemently defend one side, but remain silent about the other.

On the contrary, the record clearly shows that I sprang immediately to the offensive and requested Peter to stop baiting you with cracks about your mental stability. Look it up!

Anyone who thinks I deserve to have my mental stability questioned considering what I've been through in my life, versus needling a couple of former adversaries about who holds title to creator of the longest thread, are sadly misguided in life. You seem outraged about one, but not the other. I'd call you a fair weather friend, and I'd probably be right.

No-one has said you "deserved" such a personal criticism. I have been your friend in both "fair" and "foul" weather. Ask Carl Childress how many times I begged that your behaviour be excused on account of your illness. I have NOT taken sides, but even if I
had then on balance it would be YOUR side that I have taken!

You talk about how much better this forum has become. Well, maybe it's better for you because the comments are no longer directed Down Under.

I suggest you enter the real world here, Jim. Simply ease your way through the top 5 or 6 threads and count the number of koala's! Even you cannot fail to note the extent of the personal criticism directed toward me by certain posters. You have let your emotions color your judgement about me, too.

Garth continues to hold his grudge against me, and has continued to make references to me being a "liar" and how he'll never read another post of mine (a lie, actually, because he does read them and complain about them to the admin of this site.)

I will not prolong your argument with Garth any further. I will not fall prey to the "he started it - no he didn't" mentality. I simply requested an end to the resurrection of an old feud that most of us could care less about.

So, I see how you are Warren. As long as the comments aren't directed at you, the tone of this board has improved. Who cares about the newcomers to this board, or to some of the others who haven't been around for years, or even me? You're happy as long as it isn't about you. If you claim that you didn't notice, then you're blind to it.
Now, I'm not going away. I plan to take on a more active role on this forum. You better learn to deal with me, or go away again. I frankly don't care what you do.

I have already established that I
DID take the risk and request Peter NOT to bait you with cracks about your mental stability. For crying out loud, Jim, you even replied saying you wouldn't LET yourself be baited in such a way any longer. So WHAT, may I ask, is this "unbalanced" response all about?
I'm sorry that you cannot accept a gentle correction of the facts and a request not to prolong the "agony" of a public resurrection of old bickering and personal criticism. READ MY POST AGAIN and maybe you will see that is all it really was! Both you and Garth have been my "friends" for quite some time. I will NOT be made to choose sides. If you intend to continue in the same vein, be prepared to have the BFair "Sleeping Koala" Award renamed in your honor.
Cheers
