Isn't it just a bit ironic perhaps that someone who was administered a "lifetime ban" by Randy, and who subsequently benefitted from having it reversed, is now questioning Randys' "inconsistency?"
Had Randy just been a bit more consistent, we surely would not have had the great pleasure of your instructive posts regarding this, and other issues, right?
In the past, you've noted various comments, including, but not limited to the following:
"Randy has explained himself MANY times in the past.
Why do you both feel that he has to explain himself at all?
FT is alive and well. It is IMO, better off today than it has ever been.
If FT is not to your liking, a simple solution would be to move on..."

Are these your thoughts, or not? Do they still apply now? Or have "things" changed? If so, how so?
Thanks, in advance, for your kind consideration, as always.
Have a great weekend everyone!

No way.
I've already learned a couple of things that I might never have known about (in a timely manner anyway); if DOC hadn't post.
Welcome back

Why is a "Welcome back ****" thread acceptable?
Why are comments by members who do not share the same view not acceptable?</font>

The latter are their antithesis.

VERY nicely and clearly put, thanks!
Like it or not, FWIW, "inconsistency" is now, and has always been, IMHO, a kinda' hallmark of FT!
Yet this was also easily eclipsed, nearly always, by a tremendous kindness and generosity of spirit, among other notably great FT attributes!
Among the many other similar threads that demonstrate this inconsistency and kindness both quite clearly, is this one, initiated by CameraGuy, and in which he and I both, happily, and rightfully, IMHO, posted:

I trust future will hold much of the same!
Especially the kindness part!
