Did you consider a simple possibility?  IE I +censored you 3 months ago.  I
explained why back then.  You knew about this for the past 3 months also.  I
forgot about it, as it wasn't a "highlight day" in my life. It was just an
'event that happened'.  I didn't remember the censor until _I_ tried to tell
you I would adjourn a game it was playing.  I had forgotten all about this,
as I have tried (and succeeded a few times) in having reasonable discussions
with you here on CCC.  However I did forget.  But I also discovered the problem
and fixed it by 10:45.  Shortly thereafter the 'discussion' started...

I certainly apologize for forgetting until 15 minutes before the game.  I don't
apologize for my original decision to +censor you based on your accusation.

end of story for me...
