Not at all, tim. You are simply trying to attack and harass another user, who did what was proper at the time. Does it embarass me that some of those profiles have not been revisited in 5 years or more, sure, but  my stuff has been moving to storage for years. But your obvious attempts to attack me are totally unacceptable and I do hope that ken Cole will take action against users like yourself who very clearly have a single agenda and perhaps even a personal problem.

You have your head up yiour nether regions and have no idea what you are talking about, bets for you to SHUT UP!. Before i really comne down on you, it was indeed an automated process that Ken referred a handful users to including myself, how big that handful was i don;'t know. But evidently you weren't included, that's too bad, but it is very normal for YOU to pretend that you know far more than you do. Silence on  yhis would be good, you have attacked and insulted enough. Do I make myself very clear. Fair warning to Ken my patience with these fools is out.

Once more time for the IDIOT to shut up, and the idiot is YOU. You haven't clue of what you are talking about, NOT one.

Insults and threats. Classy.

*Warning- rant ahead - I have decided to say some things that I have been feeling for over a year*

Alien Redrum has illustrated exactly why I find it necessary to single you out Skip.

I had hopes that after your absence from the forums, and your subsequent change it behavior for the last week or so, that you recognized that many of the problems revolved around you.

I know that others have posted negative remarks but, almost without exception, you are involved in the animosity.

I try my best to be an asset to the community. I have never called you names or threatened you in any way. You, on the other hand CONSISTENTLY post nasty and insulting comments and then are shocked and dismayed when others respond.

Telling people they "raped the database", or calling people "idiots" or saying "You have your head up yiour nether regions.." etc. etc. etc. is unacceptable. Do you tell your wife to "shut up" or then threaten her? "i really comne down on you"? How dare you. Shame on you.

Is it any wonder that after pages and pages of people calmly trying to explain things, and having insults and threats given in return, that they finally retort in like manner?

Threats and name calling are unacceptable. I am sorry to call you out but these things did not occur while you were banned. It might be best for the community if you take another break from the community for a while.

Edit: Please don't bother responding to me Skip. I find your recent behavior so intolerable, I have decided to block you.

I'm sorry to read that both Kathy and Taro have felt it necessary to engage a forum block. I personally and unreservedly apologise for all my contributions to the atmosphere that made them do this.

On the other hand, I am very happy that they have done this rather than leave the forums! 

I hope their solution works for them and they continue to be productive and valuable members of the community.

Kathy:

I understand what you are saying...BUT again you are guilty of selectively slapping a user around. Within twenty fours of returning from an out of town trip, users starterd making snide and nasty remarks, beginning Grendell, and then Alien and North and the other usual suspects, you said NOTHING to any of them or about any of them. But you feekl very free to attack, berate and insult me as you please. Sorry, babe, that dog don't hunt.

Talk to me when you decide to start showing some fairness, Kathy.

Kathy shows fairness in every post.

She's the nicest person this board, hands down (not including myself).

To even suggest she's anything but kind and fair is utterly ridiculous.

Funniest. Post. Ever.  

Alien:

I could only wish you were as nice as kathy, That's never going to be true. But as I said, as nice as kathy is, she exercise selectiveness in whom she chooses to berate. You deserve much more than you have gotten, you UK colleague, north, is just out and out nasty and a liar, who has a very clear and obvious agenda, I really feel very sorry for someone who is so eaten with his own hatred. His hatred is so clear I suspect that I know north, under another guise.

Your idea of good behavior is someone who will simply roll over when you voice an opinion different from his, and when you can't back me down, then you and others will ALWAYS resort to personal insults...each and every time.I will NOT roll over for you, my opinions are always sound and based on good database design principles, that isn't to say i can't be persuaded otherwise, but you have not learned how to place a coherent and counter argument likewise based in good database design principles. There is only one user that can do so with relative consistency and sometimes he can persuade me...not always.

I don't want to go after anybody, all too sadly the same cannot be said of many others. But when you decide to come after me , do not expect me to turn the other cheek, Alien. If you slap me, you will get it right back tenfold.

I have said and meant that I am willing to treat everyone differently, and i have tried, take note of that taro, I have genuinely tried and i will continue to do so. Sadly, the same is not true of Taro, north, Alien, and others and that makes me sad, but, you guys have set the agenda of hatred you want to follow, I will deal with your posts as i always do one at a time with no "hangover". North posted aquestion in another thread he started and i gave him a civil and I hope helpful answer, not that he even said as thank you but that's OK. So, like I said I don't have the time or the energy to carry a grudge, so rest assured that if you are polite and respectful to me, i will be the same to you. Given enough time I might even not only forgive your past behavior but even FORGET it. I have forgiven Taro for his one man attack thread, but I haven't forgotten it, and I still want to know two things (1) why he thinks it Ok to start such a thread and (2) why Ken allows such a thread to be started without action, the thread sin the Website discussion are nothing but threads utilized to attack a single user, and why ken permits that kind of behavior is beyond me. I would not ban anyone, but neither would i permit such disgusting subjects to be raised when used to attack a single user, and anyone who claims otherwise is simply a liar, the purpose of the threads is oh so obvious, just as the purpose for Taro's thread was so very obvious, and he succeeded in achieving his goal of starting a massive attack thread.

You're quite right. The original question has been answered, in fact Cubby has already submitted an excellent update to the profile concerned. If the moderators themselves won't lock it I think it's time to let this thread die.
