e have made to help you recover some measure of dignity is overwhelming. The attempts people have made to reclaim this thread for the sake of topical discussion is admirable. Balls. This thread was doing quite nicely up to a month or two ago. You were basically gone, Laz and jla and E and Poet were gone, and those of us who were left had rebuilt it into a generally friendly thead with some quite interesting discussions. You/they had SMBR and My House, some of us had this. There was peace in the world. Then Poet and the hate crowd decided for some reason to try to destroy the thread. I suspect pure jealousy at seeing some of us actually having substantive and interesting discussions. Hate and vandalism are like that. They can't stand to see purity and friendliness and people they don't like actually having some fun. So quit that garbage nonsense about trying to reclaim this thread. If people want this thread reclaimed, it's easy. You, Laz, jla, Poet, E, and the rest of your mob just all drop everything hostile about me and X. But you won't do that. Because you don't want this thread to be interesting, or constructive. At least have the decency to be honest about your destructionism. Here you accuse me of not being honest, and you try to sell an even Bigger Lie than Hitler ever dreamed of perpetuating. Then Poet persuaded

ROFL that is truly one of the more bizarre posts you have ever made. Discussions went along fine until some folks couldn't stand the discussion and would come over to foment. We had some very nice discussions that didn't involve the dreaded past at all. But that didn't suit. People would get bored on their moderated threads, and they would return to add nothing but vitriol. I remember ignoring Poet for weeks. All she came over to do was post stupid cracks. WEEKS. And during those weeks we had some nice discussions here.
