So far Doug has stonewalled us on his reasons for banning Barry. So some are making up their own to cover this glaring gap. Nope, that's a story *you* made up. Nobody's doing that. Me: You are saying you know why he got bounced, I am saying I don't. I am not making up anything by pointing out that we have been not been given a reason. You already agreed to this point did you forget? Judy:When I first saw Barry's warcry of defiance--that he was going to ignore Doug--I thought, Whoops, he's gone too far this time; that's going to get him bounced. That was before we knew there was going to *be* an explanatory gap. And I still think that's what pushed him over the edge of Doug's tolerance. Me: And you might just be right. If that was the reason I would object to it. But we haven't been given the exact reason you are guessing. Judy:Your post to me, Curtis, is flapping limply in the breeze at the moment. I'll get to it later this afternoon. Me: Yeah we have some real gems to discuss, I have not forgotten I am just prolonging the pleasure. Judy: In the meantime, you might just want to look up that post of Ann's I mentioned so you can at least limit your embarrassment over your Doug-twisted-Rick's-arm story by not repeating it. (Goodness knows you don't have the integrity to retract it.) Me: Overlooking the gratuitous personal shots you are taking at me, I looked for the post and only saw a video response and an attaboy agreement with a post. If it is a reason that stands on its own why don't you repeat it. You are trying to Judy me here, focusing on an insignificant detail that is really just an opinion about an inconsequential detail. I got this impression from Buck's months long campaign here and from communicating with Rick. And perhaps Rick doesn't feel as if he was dogged into this. OK, who cares? If Rick says that isn't how it went down OK, that is his view of it and I would accept that. But as Buck's rotted master used to say: "the elephant has two sets of teeth, one for show and one for eating. I wouldn't get too carried away on this extraneous point if I were you.
