I dont see the strawman. This site is full of far worse stuff than what I said to Pandora. You happily ignore, or occasionally encourage it.
The strawman was you implying that my posts here equal starting to police the site. I'd be very interested in you trying to back up that particular bullshit.
Now all of a sudden, Les has told you he's leaving over my comment, and now youve decided this is a huge deal.
Ithink youre just pissed because you actually think Les will really leave.
Actually I've been talking to Sir Les as well as reading the old threads and realised that I should have posted more about all this earlier. Instead I was pissed off by what you did and remained mostly silent. Not completely, as you will note if you actually bother to read my older posts, so you are just wrong on this one.
Isolated, a lot of the TCO/Pandora stuff would not have merited a response. Put in context, however, I think this particular drama has developed in directions that I dislike enough to speak out. I have said more than once that I'm not always consistent--very few are--but I try to learn from my mistakes and not do the same ones more than once. So yes, I'm pretty sure there are times in the past when I should have reacted but for various reasons didn't.
But that's not how I would like to excuse myself if I stay silent or look the other way when I see something I think is wrong. Would you?
