I read your message (finally). No apology necessary of course, but thanks for the sentiments. You're a great guy mate. I read the "heated" post of yours that you deleted later and felt at once both shamed and honoured that you lept to my defense so to speak.

I don't think anyone here would hold you resposible for the actions of a third party and I certainly do't. I love the site, I think (as I said) that you are one of the most generous, tolerant, open handed, democracy loving, goodwill respecting people I've had the priveliege of conversing with, or reading, on the net.

Your new wife is a lucky girl.

All the best mate, keep up the good work.

You rock Ziroc, you're the man Dan, you're ruling Huling. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

Ken is definitely still reading our posts. Look t this e-mail I got from him:

Buttsqueek, Lord Shield?

You peole know I wasn't flaming. I was defending myself and LN. PERIOD.

Memnoch sure said I wasn't doing anything wrong and would not get banned.
Interesting...I knew you people were fake when you "welcomed" me.

BTW, Ziroc KNOWS LN and I have the same IP...so he knows she is banned too.
He is a liar...flat out.

He only deleted a topic where he flamed ME and then leaves my pleading and
his public interogation of me. You people are a farse!

-Ken Baker.

Would someone like to tell me how banning Moiraine was defending LN?
.
Notice he can't spell when he's ranting

OK guys, that's enough. Stop the flaming. There's no need to keep on abusing Ken, what does it achieve? NOTHING. This is all a big misunderstanding. Let's try to be mature here!

Guys this is not a thread to keep the argument going, this is my response to a message from Ziroc in a now closed thread. I want to emphasise the positives to come out of this which is - on my part at least - a greater admiration for Dan, and feelings of loyalty resultant from his actions. Mateship is VERY important to an Aussie like me, and I have a long memory in regard to this sort of thing.

Thus, on my part, a positive has arisen from a negative. Let's focus on that, and refrain from dwelling on bitterness, anger and dispute, from wherever it originates.

I should point out Lord Shield and Caleb, you guys also rock and this is in no way meant to be a criticism, merely an expression of desire for the tone of this thread.

Cheers brothers!

Sorry, folks. Didn't mean to continue issue, but I am NOT going to forgive him for the petty banishments. I will make no further comments on this subject.

Incidentally, the term "ButtSqueak" is one I started at work.
.
It refers to a deed just as heinous as when Richard Gere supposedly had the gerbil up his jacksie.
.
Jackise - Butt! Pitiful Gerbil noise - Squeak!

All I'm expecting from people are maturity and courtesy. Let's not turn this into a Kenbashing thread because that helps nobody. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

This whole issue is a load of shit. I have learnt a looong time ago to simply ignore any flames or bad criticism from others who I don't know and therefore their low opinion of me or my work has no value in my eyes. The only way such a thing can get so out of hand is when ppl put too much value to their pride....
