How does a "Welcome back" thread deserve any dissenting opinions other than to cause negativity? I understood Premex's comments about Doc's comments, and his feelings about the basis of this thread. I don't understand how your post provided any further clarification of Premex's post other than just to be negative. Given that this is a "community thread", then what issue are you protecting the "newer members" from?
As my mother used to say, "if you don't have anything nice to say about someone, then don't".</font>
Well, Hunki, I decided to edit my previous post, since while I was composing it, you had already edited your earlier post on the previous page. I was frankly surprised you would have posted something like what you originally posted, given your advice above.
You are correct that I really do not have anything nice to say, but that does not necessarily mean I shouldn't say it. Believe me, though, I haven't said a darn thing. I'm not going to engage you in any debate on what it means to be nice, because in the end, I know I cannot be as nice as you. But for me, it keeps me from being blinded by any naive belief that the good always outweighs the bad.
I really would prefer that we all go back and address PremEx's earlier question to doc. Why do we on the one hand say we will not talk about these past events (IMHO, burying our heads in the sand), yet on the other hand give "sanitised" versions of history?
