And you are getting away from the subject of the thread. I don't mind, but in fairness to Baz and any other do you want to start another thread continuing this, or maybe we can discuss this via pm's?
As you are a regular user of this forum in reality then I'm sure you understand the protocol.


Yes, I have gotten away from the subject of the thread. Sorry, Baz. Mark, I understand how important it is to you to abide by rules. This is, after all, why you enjoy the Port? I understand protocol and I also understand that things change in a moment.

So:

Mark, you are right in all issues. There will be no more defense, protest or argument. This, I hope, will satisfy you. Your return is appreciated and we look forward to your participation.

casimira - baz has seen true headlines from the internet news sites, they are not made up.
bjd - such are forums I suppose.

Raphael - quite a lot you got in there, but your 'issues' mentioned are a smoke screen for the true purpose of your posts, which is a thinly veiled attack. It matters not what the subject is, or isn't, it matters to you to have a go at me and previous posts/threads are just an excuse to do so.
Fair enough, that is your right. And I would defend the right for you to do so.
Though it does smack a little of cowardice if you do so under an assumed handle.
I do realise you are maybe not the person who I thought, but it is of little significance as whoever you are feels the need to do it anonymously.
But you still have the right to do so.

Your point 2 - I question your agenda, I'm never sure what that means. Does that mean the same thing as you are doing in just finding an excuse when you really just want to attack me? Your agenda is the attack and not the subject being discussed. Are you guilty of that then also?

Your point 5 - to ask for support at how hard done by you were that Jazz defended herself from you.
I can't see anywhere that asking for support occurred.

That'll do for now.

Raphael - rather than delete the post I've just made whilst you added one in between that I didn't see, I'll let it stand.

But just quickly to add, you said just now, " Mark, I understand how important it is to you to abide by rules. This is, after all, why you enjoy the Port?"
You are now putting words into my mouth. Rules are all well and good to form a structure that is favourable to posting in an understandable and harmonious way, as is the protocol, the unwritten rules associated with it.
But not all rules are good.

Litter box used as a weapon

[spoiler=spoiler]NEW PORT RICHEY — A spat over prescription drugs turned ugly early Wednesday when Rachel Switzer lost a messy cat fight with her live-in girlfriend, authorities said.

Enraged that Switzer had refused to give her Roxicodone pills, Kristin Stiehler, 23, banged on the front door of their shared home and broke through the door of their bedroom, where Switzer was hiding, New Port Richey police said.

Then, police said, Stiehler picked up a cat litter box and attacked.

By the time the fight was over, Switzer was sprawled on the bed with cat feces on her face, hair and ears and cat litter coating her hair, police said.

Stiehler is being held at the Land O'Lakes jail without bail.[/spoiler]

Canadian military officer exposed as serial killer

Actually I did understand the headline, but I certainly did not understand the workings of the guy's mind when I read the article.

(Earlier versions of the headline were: "Canadian air force colonel exposed as serial killer." I wonder why it was changed.)
