Okay, here ya go.Ok, i'll agree with your rules.
But, can you point out to me just what i said that warranted a warning be sent to me?
I think if a warning is sent, the particular infraction should be noted so one won't repeat it again, sound fair.

I know nothing Rebel ever pm'd was ever brought up.
Patch, I bet at LEAST a million dollars worth of trade has passed through this site over the years, advertisement for upcoming events, service and product advertisers, and I've never charged a red cent or asked for one-tenth of a percent commission. Yet the site fees come out of my bank account quarterly. The place is available to everyone 24/7 and I do my level best to keep porn spammers and drug companies off so it remains a nice place to visit. That's fine, it my attempt to be kind to people, to give people a little financial break; it's my contribution to the sport. I get called at home, on holidays, at my job, by people who have forgotten passwords, gotten new computers and don't remember their own login names, or wanting first-time activations.If you think you are at liberty to embarrass us or hold our feet to the fire over something, you are wrong. We will start deleting any and all posts we find to be of an insulting nature that are aimed at those providing you this forum.
You know the only payment I would hope for in return? To be able to post as a fellow beagler on my own board once in a while without being hasseled and challenged -- to have an opinion without you or the handful of others who constantly troll what few posts I make these days, snark at them so you can elevate yourself in some way by defying "the powers that be." Which of course then forces me out of fellow beagler mode and into the admin role. You know you do this; so does Randy whenever he gets a chance. So do me a favor; don't pi$$ on my leg and tell me it's raining.
Since it's out there, if Randy had his way I would serve a life sentence for some actions I took almost 10 years ago when I was unkowingly working with partial information. When I found out the deal, I opened a vein to try and make it right, gave full access to the board for them to fight their fight, burned bridges with an entire registry - while I was still publishing for a living, but it will never satisfy him. He will twist that knife in my back forever, even though he and a few others in the club could have picked up the phone and given me a heads up to a nasty situation brewing that I was unaware of. Or contacted me here for Pete's sake. I'm not real hard to find. I notice with all the scorn thrown my way since then, he's continued to enjoy the benefits of the free trading post here.
So yeah, I'm sick to death of the petty bull-ish, disrespect, and being slapped in the face by a few that should know better, and a few who used to claim to be my friends, when I've given up a HUGE part of my personal life to operate this place. I'm sick of the bile and venom that gets thrown my way for daring to have an opinion on a topic, or enforce a rule that I know in my heart will benefit the majority instead of placating the noisy minority. Just sick of it.
Is that explanation enough? Cuz that all I got tonight.
