Clarification (i.e., statement for the sole purpose of avoiding misunderstanding
or ambiguity due to a _misreading_ of the above)

The thread Mr Skinner deleted certainly pertained to me.  It even bore a
reference to me in the Subject: line.

The thread was not started by me.

It was started to insult, troll and defame me, and to drive me off the board
(the latter was virtually explicitly stated within it)

Therefore Mr Skinner's reference to it should be read with that understanding.

This is a very accurate statement.

If I was asked to expand on it, I would say the "decent" posts were one by
Djordje and some from myself.  The indecent posts were the rest.

From what I have seen so far, Mr Banks and Mr Skinner seem to have the stuff
that moderators need to have.

For those who think there is even a picogram of sycophancy in the above
statement, I invite them to read some of my posts. "It just ain't my way, dude."

There is enough off-topical discussion on this board, so I won't contribute
further to such.

Best,
