> I cannot return to Babble. It is not good for me to do so. I seldom speak of myself in the open manner in which I'm about to, but that's only because I don't talk about myself all that much. There are so many *other* fascinating things to talk about. ;-)
I'm really sorry about how things have gone lately. You've been a tremendous asset, and you have to do what you have to do, but I think it would be great if you could somehow see your way to returning later to continue to contribute to this community -- or just to talk more about yourself!
Best wishes,

As far as I can see Bob, you did a very good job of driving Lar off this board all by yourself!
I dont like bad karma and as such have not come here often and have commented even less, but I sensed something was going on by tealadys remarks to me earlier so I came and had a look.
I read Lar's fresh posting after his ban (the post you subsequently banned him for 6 weeks for), and fail miserably to see what your problem is with his posting!?!?! The post he is replying to is little short of a direct and personal attack on Larry yet you ban larry for defending himself in a robust but civil manner. Let me remind you that civil doesnt necessarily mean one responds like a pussy cat, one can be firm or robust in ones reply and still remain civil.
I recall shortly after I had registered here, reading a post from someone who claimed to be sh*gging their dog. Now if the posting had obviously come from someone with a genuine mental/sexual problem then vile as the posting may have been, the poster would have deserved (and got) support from this community, but it was blatantly clear the post was not genuine but a deliberate attempt to take the p*ss out of you, your board and everyone who posts here. You chose at the time to fight the calls for the posts removal very strongly, and even warned responders for their scathing remarks about the post.
Perhaps you'd enlighten me (and perhaps others) byt explaining how you balance or justify the above actions with the manner in which you have treated Larry Hoover, because from where I am sitting they seem wholly at odds!
I'll crawl back under my stone now (I presume posting in a manner that puts myself down is ok???).
