On August 20, 2009, LOL-X wrote (in part - an extract on page 9):

I tried to broker a reconciliation but that didn't happen, because someone was not prepared to forgive and forget. All I asked was an agreement to be friendly, but that was not returned with a favorable reply. I did not take any sides, but tried to procure a reconciliation.
*************END OF EXTRACT*******************


But, you could have spared me my conclusion, by sharing your inside knowledge, thus not allowing mortals such as myself to reach a flawed account of the events. If either participant were offended by my flawed conclusion, then I apologize to them and same to you, I did not know of your first hand knowledge.
Fair enough mortal.

Yet you seem to have judiciously omitted James' extract concerning the very public attack from one of the parties to the other in the separate thread. With such an attack being made, would you really expect a reconcilliation?

You have also made up your mind on the public evidence and statement of one of the parties involved at the higher level?

Why?

Wouldn't it be best for all of us to just stay out of matters which don't concern us and try to move on for the sake of the general membership and the forum as a whole?

In a perfect world everyone would play nice and get a long with each other. But when individual personalities get involved the games begin and feelings can get hurt!!!

I do apologise for not addressing that question, Patrick. My connection's gone funny this evening, running between 16kbps to 1200kbps. Somewhere in between I dropped out and by the time I got back in too much had happened. Blame Bubba and his Hijack Harem!

No need for apologies, I understand...low speed or not. We're all replying at the same damn time it seems.
