At this juncture, LET THE RECORD CLEARLY SHOW that I am fully willing to "let bygones be bygones" (so to speak), even if sevenpin63 and/or WAMO apparently aren't willing to do so.
Even though I don't feel I've been out of line with regard to my forum demeanor, I'm willing to go so far as to apologize if my posts have caused emotional stress or mental harm to those (or other) forum participants.
We should be pleased that even though participation continues to wane, this forum still exists, providing participants the opportunity to engage in rational discussion, whereas similar forums -- including bowl.com, BBE and PBA.com -- have fallen by the wayside. And we should be pleased that the moderator of this forum (unlike the moderators of the other mentioned forums) does his best to rid these discussions of personal attacks and extremely bad conduct.
I feel that we should be thankful for this forum, rather than abandoning or shying away from it, but everyone must decide for themselves as to how to deal -- or not deal -- with it.
