And, Ok I am not the >greatest writer in the world? I don't need to apologize for that do I? If you want a possible offensive post removed then what is "sissy" about asking for it to be looked at ? I actually have no trouble with your recent posts, cause I have not read them, so I have no idea what was said. I did complain and did email the moderators about a thread in which you and some other member started to abuse each other and you then went on to use some words which do not have any place in here. The one you said to remove your password from CCC I do not think this is being hypersensitive. But many saw that particular post and that is something you should apologize for. As for the rest, well I have not followed those threads, thus I have no opinion. You cannot blame being a poor writer for that little mistake. You should of just ignored it, cause people who make poor posts and abuse other people are looked down upon anyway, there is no reason to prove a point in this regard. I just do not see the fun, nor point in pointless fights, when people know the resulting post will be deleted, and from that point on that person has a reputation of being a trouble maker.
