Almost everyone with time under their belt gets banned for a time, or has their threads deleted or purged.
Some of those threads are gone for exactly one post out of any other number.
Puppy,
You have helped people, you are respected across the board, even with those who disagree with some of your stances. At times we have not seen eye to eye, but we communicated that.
You're a guy the new guys here want to be.
Do you need to GAL and get away from the board a bit? Who doesn't?
I know the sin of pride and ego and listening to my own press. Talking at times to hear myself speak, and if it is your pride that got stung, then maybe this is a good thing. No one's peg should be that high, speaking from a similar place.
Pup, at your core you help people you help them with advice that is mirrored by DB and rooted in it.
Somethings are hard not to take personally, but our 'personally' makes things hard.
I hope you decide to come back Pup, I hope that you can use the tactics of DBing...even here on this site, for the new guys who need the mentor you are.
Jack
