No Tim. What was posted was targeted at people to be offensive. It wasn't just about issues- it was more like tracking someone down who disagrees with you, and who you know disagrees with you, and posting to them about an issue they don't want to discuss with you in a way that can push the issue in their face. Now I grant you, sometimes people can be pretty sneaking about being offensive with their posts, but in this case that was not the case. I neither know nor care if this is an issue on which I can convince you. I'm happy with what happened. There have been bans here that I thought were an over reaction (but that's none of my business since I am not the moderator)- but this one was overdue and well deserved. imo.

Most of my posts are a joke. This site is relaxation and entertainment for me. Member 1026652 I'm glad it was entertainment for Michael, but I did not find his trolling particularly amusing. And this thread had unfortunately been his exclusive focus of late. Not that I'd protest, it's up to the moderator's discretion, and he sat back a long time. Dale didn't make a big announcement either, as LindyBill has been known to do. He responded when somebody asked after being prompted by Michael, which is not the same thing. If you want a more congenial forum to whine about the injustice done to poor greenie, you can join his friends and follow up to Message 26032143 . I'd say that post is a joke too, but who can say?
