Always good to hear from you, onefreeman.
Oztamps: usefulness of Marty's, my, yours, or anyone else's postd or place on FT is arguable (which you have been doing here quite well, I might add). To me, however, that is a wrong way to address the question beng asked here: Who said it? Why?
If you do not want to answer the question by not posting, that is a perfectly fine and legitimate option. People will judge (or have judged) Marty for the kind of person he is and the statement he made/makes- you do not need to worry about that. But if you do answer, I sincerely hope you give a honest and coherent response.

Very, very, very, wise heads on
these boards (male and female) have urged me a month or two back not to let these kind of threads drag on into continual responses, which I was once foolish enough to do. I have taken that excellent advice and thanked those FT'ers for it, who took a lot of their time to walk me through it...blah, blah, blah.

Methinks the gentleman doth protest too much.

Nicely said, Opus! The G&S is being printed out as I speak for future enjoyment, and my silence on the rest of this mess (though difficult and strained) should also not be (mis)construed as support.
I see the soap opera continues.
-If nothing else, it makes it less difficult to be unable to check the boards regularly. (Not quite enough to warrant a "Thank you.")

I see a childish person who has broken a window, try to divert attention away from him/her self.
I see a simple issue of what is right and what is wrong.
I see a simple issue puting forward information so that readers can determine for themselves who has good character and who does not.
And I see several person's courageous and civic minded stance on these issues increase their standings in my eyes. While I see the other person's complete disregard of the issues at play here, just lower his/her standings in my eyes.

Don't you miss the old days on FT; when we fought? 
Nice to see how we've grown since then.

This thread has been in a state of blissful repose for over four years and, on balance, it still needs added rest. Ocn Vw 1K, Moderator.
