Thanks for the account of your methodology. Sounds like you are being fair minded.

As for Mr. Bopp, my posts disappeared as well, inicluding one post I had put a fair amount of time into. I think he just wanted to wipe out the entire thread, no matter who said what or why. I am new over there, having been dragged there against my will. Now I stick around to make sure such shenanigans don't happen again. So far, so good. I heard that Canie got Bopp to not allow snippets of others' posts on EW end up over there. It's just not fair to quote someone out of context, using selective phrases. Same thing happened on Berkland's site, but I don't want to pay to post, so I guess it will have to remain. I don't care what those people think of me anyway.

Anyone who really knows me from my posts knows I am not into cruelty. Nor do I live on this board or any other. I have a full life. For someone's post to go unanswered for 24 hours or more is not unusual for me. No one should make anything of that except to conclude I wasn't there, not that my silence on some matter in question is dam*ing. That's just preposterous. I always answer posts addressed to my attention. Always.
