So, why don't you deliver your little lecture to HIM?

I clicked back through the thread to John's post and didn't see where he made assertions that needed to be documented. Maybe I am missing something. If you would be kind enough to point out what charges he made, specifically, I will take appropriate action.

I saw a series of posts that were generally bellicose on both sides.

Because you're both on the same team?

He has been contributing here for many months. When you have a history of contributions you will have more leeway.

I don't agree with everyone here, but you don't see an extensive ban list. The current residents are serial troll flame throwers.

>> I-node made certain quite specific claims that HE NEVER provided links for.

You referred to an exchange in a different thread. In that thread, I provided a precise citation to the proceedings in which the statements were made. One that would allow anyone who wanted to find the original remarks to do so with ease. And I linked to the LA Times article which first cited it, I believe.

If a person tells you where to find something and you choose not to do it, that is on you, not the person who told you where to find it.

One can argue that some kind of citation or reference should always be provided, but links are an extended courtesy to those who deserve it. Most of us who have dealt with you for years would not extend that courtesy to you for reasons that are beyond the scope of this thread. Those who are interested in the rationale for not engaging you can see the following --
