I'm sorry to hear that, Paul. I admit that I've typed many responses that I didn't submit. For me, being allowed a moment to examine my motive and reaction is all it takes to realizes that I'm being an ass.

Wabi did himself in with his "street tough" attitude. His motto was ALWAYS an eye for an eye and if he sensed any criticism or attack he couldn't resist making a nasty comeback.
When Greg posted that he was planning to leave Wabi couldn't resist a parting shot and that's what got him banned. If he had just kept quiet or said something like "sorry to see you go" there's a good chance he'd still be posting here but he couldn't hold back.
"Turning the other cheek" when you're attacked or insulted seems to be one of those things most Christians find nearly impossible to follow.

... but I think he was sooo pissed at you that it just popped out.
Things don't just pop out when you have to type & submit written responses.
Then maybe you should have (looong ago) gotten on others' asses about how they use the old excuse of: It was a kneejerk reaction I had!
;( sadly, when you've got the back's of others covered to your liking, others....miss...the boat, and They hear about it. All your 'I am impartial and fair to others was crap....long...long ago, flicka. And the 'clickish' attitude that has always sustained itself here and Certainly on 'the other board' has RUINED a spontaneous fair-play board.

LOL, Ronda. As usual you are unable to discuss something like an adult so you resort to childish name-calling.
Wabi and I had many hundreds of exchanges over the years here and we were able to stay mostly civil even though we disagreed. He was an intelligent debater and I'll miss our discussions, but the bottom line is that he hung himself.
BTW, how can you be sure that I'm not really Paradude or Wabi or "I" or Sisyphus or Michele or Yosemite Sam? I might even be ALL of them.

Cliques of one sort or another have ALWAYS been a part of NM for as long as I've been around here. Every time anyone speaks favorably or in support of another they get accused of belonging to one.
