So I guess it comes down to I am the bad guy here. Ok perhaps my response was overly harsh. I too don't wish to see Paul leave and in the past I always enjoyed his posts. But I felt personally attacked. All I did was pass on an invitation from Jim Di to have a further excahnge on the subject OFF this forum. It is Jim's choice to post or not to post, on any forum.
Anyone who knows me know the length I actually go to avoid getting into fights with people. And so f I probably should have let that post go. It was a hair trigger response on my part. And totally unlike me.
So, for the record I will no longer post for anyone. I will post articles but not
someone's emails. It seems to me that the issue here is between Jim and Paul and I was PUT in the middle. However I do not blame Jim, all he did was ask me to invite a personal discussion via email. Therefore I PM'd Paul making said offer. Paul started the name calling here. I apologise for the f word and calling him a loon. In my defense all I can say is that I am very loyal to friends. Bob Groden is a longtime friend and someone I very much admire. So when I saw him lumped in with Mack, after Paul repeatedly called me Bill MIller and a proxy, I saw red. For the record I happen to like Bill Miller too but saw him referred to as a proxy for Mack and even REALLY Mack at Ef many times. But all I did was pass on an invitation to email. To say he'd not engage in any private conversation with me AS A RESULT was rather over the top and I reacted.
So I am apologizing for my part in this.
