So (a) he gives NO ANSWER as to what was in that second set of posts that was the problem; (b) he claims the right to monitor my posts all over the site. If the above is an accurate reflection of his attitude, do you honestly think I would agree to such conditions? Would you? Shall I go through your posts on other threads and decide, on the basis of them, whether you post here? Is he always this absurd? Also, the issue is more than me. Look at his ban list. You post regularly on this thread to many of the people he has banned. Why do you do that if they are so objectionable? Why should they be banned? He is a coward who cannot defend his positions in an open forum where all are allowed to question them. Period. If you call that "rude", you may. I call it the truth.

While you're at it, why don't you ask him why I was banned? I wasn't rude. I simply and politely but firmly disagreed with the viewpoints of some of the posters. If he thinks I was rude, ask him to point to the posts he thinks were rude. If he thinks saying "I disagree with you" is rude, then he's right, I was rude. But by normal usage of the term, no. I do agree that on very rare occasion one or two of my posts may be mildly controversial. But that's a very different thing from rudeness.

"He says you were rude...and continue to be rude." ROTFLMAO! Then explain why Orcastraiter, redfish, Dipy, SiouxPal, Kenneth E. Phillipps, Chris Considine, CalculatedRisk & a host of others are allowed to post there then!
