That does not excuse Greg Boser and others referring to me as a dumb ass or Michael VanDeMar calling me a phycho. Michael VanDeMar has now gotten very person linking to a page where the person has harassed me for two years. Michael VanDeMar has now made this very personal. Might I add that he also submitted his post to Sphinn. Matt, I noticed you did not say correct, and perhaps I was wrong to call him a guppy at Sphinn.

Michael VanDeMar has now made this very personal. Might I add that he also submitted his post to Sphinn.

I think the problem was that Andy's reply to the original blog post was a rational, well-argued point (note, i did not say correct, simply rational and well argued)... whereas your reply to his post was an unprovoked attack on his character. The problem was that you got personal for no reason. Whereas you could have constructed a rational argument of your own, you instead chose to immediately jump in with a personal attack (and it was in a "ps" as well, which really did not add anything to the debate). My 2c. Sigh.

Carl - a guppy is slang for a gay yuppy - or a fish. In this case I was calling him an ass kissing fish. Marty, yes it is. For the record I requested my account be deactivated & that he leave my discussions intact, so I don't know what Danny was pulling with the "we have deactivated you bit." However, I think my leaving was my best move. I had told Rose last week that I did not think Sphinn was for me. However, I'm fortunate to have met you & Rose there. Drop by anytime. Greg and I just banned your ass.
