I read the post, and could see how it could be taken as a farewell post. If I had read it first before reading here I would have probably taken it that way too.

I will give him the benefit of the doubt.

And then there is behind the scenes ....

I am not privy to what goes on behind the scenes, as I am only a lowly peon there. So I can only say what is in the open.

And then there is a lack of reading comprehension and there is not being willing to accept a man's word as to his intent. Especially when the explanation made perfect sense if folks properly read the beginning of the post.

Oh, well....

Some things are worded leaving a back door open.

Possibly. But even when that seems to be the case I am inclined to give a borther the benefit of the doubt when he explains his intent. It seems to some here that is a novel and unacceptable concept. Calling him a liar is much more appealing.

I'm not sure anyone was calling him a liar. Maybe I'm missing something, but a poster here was saying another poster here wasn't always truthful.

Uhm, okay. I seem to recall several posts intimating the man was a liar. But hey, maybe I need to order HOP and do a review.

Moving on as this really is of little importance to me. I didn't really expect much less or any more. Just a good way to spend a little time.

Said forum ... as most know was coming off a very frantic week with a lot of nonsense that maybe even you contributed to ...

you know when the cat's out the mice come out to play ...

Things are not said or done in a vacuum ... for every action there is a reaction ... and a multitude of perceptions ...

Intent can be fickle at times ... and complex.

You guys can paint this as you want ... most who read it and understood some of the dynamics at play...
if not all of them ... will filter it through their own lens ... making reasonable inferences.

so condescend ... as you wish ... hurling insults at the comprehension skills of capable adult readers .... it will still be seen as you defending a friend ....

and we're cool w/ that ...
