I did come to understand that 'contribute' meant posting what you liked or agreed with. It did not include anything you didn't like or disagreed with, whether that be a critique of what you posted, of you, yourself, the venom with which you posted it or an original post from me which came from a source you detested. If something was posted that you didn't like or agreed with, one was expected to defend their post with meticulous effort to your satisfaction and if you weren't satisfied one was expected to accept your response of 'well, you're an idiot.' Rinse, repeat ad nauseum. In other words, your forum, in which you gleefully invited me and others to participate, was pretty much what I expected it would be. In essence, a political boy's club (even if you're no longer a boy) and a troll trap for 'others.' And, of course, it's all my fault ... somehow.
But we both knew that. I enjoyed it for what it was. In the end you and others could not take what was dished back. *ShruG*
So, that's about as clear of a clearing of the air as there could be (and I wasn't even intending such). I think just leaving it be (my amusement - your chagrin) should suffice. Like I said, and I am sincere, may ICOM fulfill your every need or desire for it.
