great story unfolding, page-40

Porthos, you miss the point.

Believe it or not, despite the fact I champion them, I find retaliatory responses tiresome too. I wish they weren't necessary and I certainly don't do it for amusement.

I do so because there are new people looking at these forums all the time, deciding whether or not to invest or spread the word, who are unaware of the agendas at play. I will unflinchingly put a microscope on them when they occur.

And I'll say it again, it's not whether someone agrees or disagrees with me, it's their motivation for doing so..... in this case, relentlessly self-serving and bitter. And people new to these threads deserve to know that.

You are more than entitled to your opinion and I entirely understand why you find some of these posts tiresome. Ironically enough, your past two posts have been complaining about other members who complain about other members. You can always exercise your own advice and put me on ignore too.

I would hope not, but that's a call for you to make.
