Bob, I want to be reasonable and open-minded about this problem but I'm not sure why you don't understand the events that have already transpired. I will address your points one by one:

1. He's not prone to capricious deletions. If his reasons for deleting the post aren't known to you, ask him. On iHub.

That's exactly what I did. I was polite and considerate the entire time. He became vulgar and abusive and stopped communicating with me.

2. He has taken a lot of heat for and likely still wants your presence on iHub. The whole "balance" thing. He knows as well as I do that the whole community is best served when there are opposing points of view present. I very seriously doubt the deletion of your post was for it being "negative". If that were the case, most of your posts would be gone.

I'm willing to give Matt the benefit of the doubt here at this point in time and would also point out that I didn't claim he deleted my post because it was negative. In fact, it wasn't negative it all. It was simply an explanation why the price dropped suddenly Monday morning.

3. He's nowhere near as inflexible as I am. I think it's easier to reason with him than it is to reason with me. Try discussing it with him.

I disagree. His olive branch was offered with a "yawn" and he ended it by asking for my rebuttal, a rebuttal that I already politely offered him on Ihub, a rebuttal that was honest, sincere and logical. He simple became abusive.

If you are asking for me to forgive him for becoming abusive and vulgar when I was making a noble effort to solve our disagreement politely and privately then I am willing to do that as soon as he apologizes for becoming abusive, short-tempered and cutting off communication. However, I have never seen even one example of Matt ever apologizing for anything.

Hopefully he can rise to the occasion instead of pretending like it never happened exactly how I've described it.
