JW,
You wrote in response to my previous diary entry http://www.fieldlines.com/story/2006/10/5/193117/465:
I want you "all" too know, that I have re-occuring nightmares about this sort of thing happening to me.
Make a posting/comment, then withdraw from the computer for a couple of days(for un-known reasons ovcoarse), then return and stumble across a story like this. eeeegad... Sometimes we post with a general think-tank attitude, then say to ourselves, whoops. I just want to stress, that i believe this board has a great bunch of folks, the collegic spirit is strong here. This is a fun place.
If im not mistaken Roger, I remember you, regreting, going after a newbe, like an elephant stampeeed, and stateing(sp?) that you had some dues to pay. Please, someone correct my circular logic, i can't help myself.
But seriously though, ULR should have responded by now, if you were on to something. Personally I hate these type of postings, went through this myself with Troy awhile back(years ago). The best thing about this forum, is the easy going curious attidude here...

Now;
Was somehow posting to my own diary wrong or in bad taste? I felt to completely change the nature of ULR's posting to the main board would have been in bad taste. I felt my opening line set that tone. The people to which I addressed this (et al) may respond or not as they see fit, Did I offend any of you? If so it was an oversight and not intended. ULR may not have noticed that I posted(the title was cryptic). It's no biggie to me if he did not repsond, others I know and trust did. Sometimes I don't have time to respond to emails and other messages so I post to my diary.
Nightmares? eeeegad? Whoops? Circular logic? Just what are you trying to say? Are you questioning the intent or content of my diary entry? My simple mind requires more elaboration. I thought I made my little diary entry in proper form. The ramblings of an old and sometimes very tired man.
No I regretted the way I went after someone I know and respect, not a newbie. That person was TomW, and others I went off on regarding identity and other issues I will not regurgitate here. Read back through my diary, and main board postings, because the messages are still there unless the owners and operators of this board have removed them. Since then I feel I have comtributed in a meaningful way to several users of this forum. Your opinion may differ.
The other person that attacked me without reason or provocation and I went off. I'm not real proud of either episode, and it's so thoughtful of you to bring those vile emotions to everyones attention once again. However in the event of an attack I will not lie down or surrender without an overwhelming response. That person I slammed had proved on several occasions to be, shall I say, a pain.
Until I find time to waste more of yours,
