Let me tell you something Ollie. We had a great many explosions regarding matters we both had very strong feelings about. And sure, we did biff each other about a bit. But there were always places you did not go, and I recognised that. Exchanging name-calling I can accept, because I know that it is the question of issues which is dividing and exasperating us, and a little war is necessary fight our corner. All that - OK within reason.
But throughout all of that, you never, ever, gave me the degree of unsolicited offence that Gator gave on this forum by demeaning and insulting the fighting forces of my country , while they were standing and dying as allies of the US in Iraq.
That is what I call unforgivable.
If you check my posts, you will find that at all times I avoided ever giving offence by insulting Germany or the German people. Always my target was the Hitler regime.
I believe your work stands up in its own right, and that you can deal with your exasperation at times with a lighter -footed parry and thrust.
Hope this establishes where i stand in all this to and fro of forum business.
