The guy posting the original post that had upset Hyatt was Charles Unruh. His post was almost identical to something that had been posted in rgcc by one of the people who had caused most of the trouble there. (It is my opinion that those guys caused the trouble. This is not meant to open a discussion on that, and I apologize in advance for any offense.) Events followed pretty much as Bruce wrote, except for a posting a late on Thursday night by Unruh that was up for somewhere between 1/2 hour to 5 hours before it was deleted by the moderators. It was a fairly unpleasant post attacking Hyatt and 10 others here. I don't know if Hyatt saw the second post or not, but it was later the next day, I believe, that Hyatt said he was leaving here. If you have something to ask him, he's still doing the crafty email list, according to his last post. Hope this helps.
