In the above tirade you make it sound like i just began a campaign to randomly insult people! Is it at all possible that some of the ugly remarks made in the above were provoked? This is exactly what I am talking about, in this forum someone is insulted, when the victim decides to "fight back", then ironically the victim is made out to be the bad guy. Which is ass-backwards, Especially since we all know it is simply human nature to fight back when attacked, our natural response is to react when injured. If the moderators did their job to begin with, and deleted any post of an offensive or vulgar nature (regardless of who it is) then it would be unneccesary to respond in this way. You said yourself that you argued for my suspension being a month instead of three, because you thought i might have been picked on?? I wonder what gave you that impression?? Could it be my rather innocent article about Chess programmers who refuse to make the programs available to the public?? By the way I read my article to over fifteen people who are not part of this forum not one person found anything insulting or offensive in my article. What the consensus was from these people was that I was dealing with a bunch of nuts, based on some of the responses here I would have to agree. You do seem overly zealous to boot me out the group when I respond to a insult, I wish you would prosecute with equal Zeal those who would use derrogatory remarks against me. Until you do this the only thing I will learn is just how hypocritical this place is.
