OK, first i hope you will not move this to the infraction thread, and let me say something HERE...
First ,Boswell was right. We did have a positive e-mail exchange. Julian and Boswell for that matter. I have much respect for them as a result. Even people I have differed with on occasion contacted me and stressed their concerns. Jumbo, Fish, Bob Green, CMS and more. I truly appreciate it, and learned from them and appreciate their comments.
A couple have asked why I was banned. To be quite honest, I was never advised as to why this occured. Nor was I told who administered the ban. It would have been nice to have been told, as I never used profanity, didn't slander or call names etc. It's of little consequence however, as the duration was short, and the admin made a quick retraction. A decision much appreciated. Oh, I survived before joining DBR, and would have survived without it. But I think I would have missed some fun, and not made friends as I have now. And to think, I thought they were enemies. Hardly...
This is a great outlet for us to express views, and sometimes even vent. Maybe more than we should. Guilty as charged here on occasion! But thanks DBR for the venue. To quote a highly visible DUKE figure, it's a great spot for "comic relief". And that's not meant as an insult. DBR is getting better by quantum leaps. A lot of effort is being put into it, not just for the "owners", but for the members as well.
While I have differed with the views of a few members , I still value their opinion and enjoy reading what they have to say. Sometimes I get mad, sometimes I go "hey, that guy knows the game!" After considering others thoughts I have changed views on occasion, and remained stubborn as an old goat on others.
I am passionate about DUKE. For many many years. I won't apologize for that. And you know, I look forward to argueing with Jumbo, AllenMurray, Fish and others. But I'm their friend too.......
