Advice for the Spiritually Callow and the Mendicant Pundits

[Dr. Shades]

Pretty crappy way to treat an old friend of the board, in my opinion.

How the Hell was I supposed to know who it was? He created a brand-new account, with a brand-new username, and then posted just like any of the spam-bots you see in the Outer Darkness forum.

You could have asked him if it was funny.

There was plenty of evidence IN THIS SET OF POSTS.

First impressions are sticky. The first few posts he made were rough. I hope they stick around and realize it was just a misunderstanding!

Sorry friends,

Shades has made it pretty clear to me now that my participation in this forum doesn’t really have much of a future, so I’m afraid I’ll have to end this here.

Meanwhile Rosebud has been allowed to carry on ad nauseum. Utterly bizarre treatment in my opinion. I don’t get it. I’m baffled.

Rosebud doesn't post exactly like a spam-bot, that's why.

This really isn't rocket science.

Hey Stak,

Good to hear from you - Hope all is well - Did you get married yet?

Perhaps you could extend Shades a bit of grace (How was he supposed to know this was you?) and be a little less dramatic over a simple and harmless misunderstanding?

Hope to see you posting again, soon.

You could admit you made a mistake and walk back the threat.
