Here's another email that I wrote way early this afternoon, and I don't see

Off-World, don't leave. You are a valuable contributor to some wonderful
discussions. Please don't take this stuff personally. People are just trying to
keep things from going sour again, and we don't always express ourselves very
well. Lurk didn't remember your role in the past discussion about flaming. All
you did was stand up for me when another member was hurtful. I think you're a
great guy, on very many counts.
We're all still getting the lay of the land as far as the new civility goes.
It's a habit to shoot barbs, because it's gone on for so long. I know you
didn't mean to harm anyone, you were just feeling passionate about your point
of view. Many will miss your input if you truly do pull out. Please ignore
people who can't yet appreciate you (like you told me to do, sweetie, when I
got sat on). What you said to me helped me feel a whole lot better and reduced
my hurt. I'm trying to give you back the well-deserved same. If you leave, we
all lose. Please stay with us. Or if you must take a break, come back soon.

You are ENTIRELY wrong about that, but your prejudice smells a mile a
way.
I was not remotely involved in that childish argument you guys had
about banning people, except when it was used unfairly against one
person but not another.
I was not part of your little boys stupid argument.

The word 'idiot' was OBVIOUSLY referring to the writer of the
magazine article, not the FFL member that posted the article. I am
sorry I did not make that clearer, but you should be more careful
before you start ranting like crazy person.
You're extreme prejudice has just put me off FFL permanently. So no
need to ban...I'm gone. People like you are so childish and
constantly on the lookout to express your frustrations about your own
life and project them upon other people.
Outta here
