Exactly the point. You stayed silent - encouraged - the childish nonsense started and routinely posted by TheMercenary. Meanwhile I replied with posts that also included supporting fact why AND no insults. (Wacko extremisms is a term just like moderate is a term.) Now that TheMercenary has accelerated his personal attack in numbers and intensity, I have again replied in kind – as anyone would be expected to after so long.

You forgot the LOL smilie, because you can't be serious. If didn't stay silent, half your rants would be deleted. You've insulted everyone that has had the unmitigated gall to question your opinions, since I've been on this board. Your evading questions, and introducing oh-look-a-birdie tangents, is a staple around here. That makes your present attempt for the moral highground the source of great amusement for the rest of us.

If you ban me, then an honest (logical) Bruce must also ban TheMercenary, UG, and classicman. I have simply caused you to stop ignoring your duties as a Cellar dwellar - to maintain the integrity and tone I have seen for 20 years - due to peer pressure. (Also obvious should be that I am not calling for banning - a challenge for you to see what is posted rather than apply assumptions into conclusions.)

Guess what? I do see through what is posted, and so does everyone else, but we tolerate you anyway. If we were to censor this board to maintain the tone you set, the Cellar would be the joke of the internet.

So you still do nothing - pretend these is no problem.

Does laughing count?

Where is that post threaening TheMercenary. Oh. You repeatedly attack the symptoms - not the problem. Then what I stated yesterday and accruately about his wife was necessary and unavoidable.

Wrong, and you've been warned that is unacceptable.

Others also defined the problem. Add Griff to the list. Instead you ignore the facts; choose to attack the messenger who finally got your attention. Instead you attack what makes you feel rather than deal with the problem. Where is one post from you to TheMercenary to stop it? You remain both silent and in denial. You encourage him to attack piercehawkeye45, radar, and others.

Right, it's all my fault, as are diseases, pestilence, wars and MBAs.

TheMercenary is the reason long before I had no choice but the reply vicously and with irratation.

Oh you had a choice, many of them, but if you feel you don't, I can give you some very specific choices I doubt would make you happy.

I responded long after merc routinely posted kindergarten attacks. Yes, assume that sentence is bluntly addressing your denials and misguided response. Shame on 'Bruce the Almighty'

Genuflect when you say that, pardner.

for encouraging what then had to happen. Or go away so TheMercenary can continue to destroy the tone and attitude once found in the Cellar for 20 years.

Well, isn't that special.

I've already spelled out clearly where I draw the line. I will continue to maintain that position until I'm instructed to do otherwise.
By whom? It sure ain't you.
