Even the other thread? Sorry JohnM it was your ranting that brought me here. I thought it important that you knew folks weren't buying whatever you were selling. I will offer you this, however. I'll leave if you do.

We would all be better off if you take your anger to some other thread. Well, if the "we" you refer to is not the royal "we", and I'm part of this "we", I disagree and would ask that you not speak for me. As far as I'm concerned, he can stay. Asking him to leave a public forum which you do not moderate is rude. I do not detect anger. I do not detect threats. All I see is an attempt to censor someone you don't like. Until FL says so, the fact that you don't like someone is not a ground for banishment. If you really have a problem, use the "ignore" function. It has saved me a lot of grief here.

Disagree John. Respectfully. When we all came here, until FL made us aware that for this thread to succeed, we needed to at least "hear" one another. We try to digest that thought...and then to either let it go, or comment upon it. Mike hasn't been foul, or spouting untruths, or tripe, as some of the previous folks did (and who have been invited to leave) and this board is better for it. Where many times I haven't agreed with you, I have learned from you. Hopefully all of us can say the same, or why would we bother wasting our time and energy? We can all learn from each other~~and whatever we retain, helps us to come to some sort of consensus as to our core understanding of "the way things are."
